Many thanks, really appreciate that. An identical intructions sheet was also included (the paper looked slightly more yellow-ish, though...), it is barely noticeable, folded and tucked in under the razor handle as it is in the box. Thanks Tom!
Will someone tell me about the Cobra Classic? Is it similar to the Weck SE using the longer blades? I don't understand the high prices for it, when you can find it. Is it really better than a typical injector?
Well, I just added this to my collection of Schick Injectors. A NOS G1. Still has the red dummy blade incert.
It will remain NOS. It will wind up in my safe deposit box with my other new G1 and E3. I have plenty of Schick Injectors to use, these will belong to my grandsons someday.
Wish my grandfathers were avid wet shavers...iv asked all of them if they ever did.....indeed they all did but.....once technology changed so did their shaving routines.....so naturally they rid themselves of the "inconvenient"......I will never get the true feeling of having a razor passed down to me from my grandfather but.....getting them from junk stores and such work out for me just fine though! Thats cool that you think of that for your grandsons though...especially if they are far from being able to shave....thats better than a college fund lol!
I gave my PAL adjustable injector razor a second chance this morning. I replaced the blade and tried all adjustments and could not get an angle that would shave. I can see the blade moving forward or back when adjusted, but it will just not cut. Do you use a different angle from other injector razors? What am I doing wrong?
I've never figured mine out, so I just gave up on it. The Schicks are just too darn good to spend much time getting the PAL to work.
I like SE's. I have 3 injectors: Schick yellow handle, PAL and Schick 'Golden 500'. I always feel like I'm giving up a good DE or SE shave when I use them + I don't like the long handles of the PAL or '500' but the shaves are pretty good the few times I've used them.
Well it looks like I will soon be joining the injector party. Tonight I won an auction for a Golden 500. Tomorrow I will have to see if I can find any blades locally. Auction pic
I managed to get hold of a TYPE A. with original box, cant wait to use it maybe tomorrow. (it needs a clean)
A J4 Schick 500 to keep my E2, G1, I2 Hydromagic and my two adjustables (M1 and M2) some company. Nice detail (see pics): this razor was made in the former Schick facilities in The Netherlands, now it came back home from France. For 18 dollar incl shipping
