Injector & SE Party !!!

Rob

It is very similar in size to The schick. I do not know about the patents. I am mainly doing it for my own satisfaction. Just to see if I can.

I like the injector design! Seems like the spring hump on top would force you to use a steeper angle than I like though. I'm more of a flat against the skin injector shaver. .010 is some pretty stout blade exposure but if you can shim out the guard that would reduce it if you wanted to do that. Harder to go the other way. Nice idea! Can't wait to see how it comes out.

 

It also has the advantage of making it super simple to find the right angle. Using the hump as a fulcrum point or guide it is easy to drop the angle until you make contact between the blade and skin and get the angle exactly as intended.

Welcome my brother!

 

Do you have a better idea on how much blade exposure to start with. .010 was just an estimate. I would be very grateful for your input.
As for the angle I made it 30 degrees to star with.

Thanks Tom

 

My new "500" care of @clint64 ! Waiting for tomorrow's shave!

 

Super, being an injector (and Tom) fan you can count me in.

 

Wicked looking razor. It looks to have never been used. The case looks amazing also.

Whew, that's smokin' - is it me or is it getting hot in here?

 

Well, according to an old Gillette instruction manual that I can't find right now, a Fatboy on 9 has .009" blade exposure so this I guess would be a Fatboy on 10 . That might agree just fine with a lot of people and if there's a way to adjust it starting at .010 may not be a problem at all. My face hates lots of blade exposure though. When I use a Fatboy (and it isn't often) I keep it down around 3 (.003").

This razor is unconventional enough though that maybe some of those rules don't exactly apply.

 

Nice one! My Golden 500 is right at the top of the favorites list. Enjoy it.

That is great info. I can easily adjust the exposure the way I have it designed. Just a little math and I will be on my way.

Thanks again.
Tom

 

Thanks Bunny!

 

Or is that Sir Bunny!

 

Mike
good one I hope to get Bunny this Saturday. I can't wait to try HIM out.

I am easy either one is fine by me.

 

Thanks Billy. Your wisdom is much appreciated

 

I'm glad you like it. I think we both made out pretty well. My new Gem Damaskeene care of @Redfisher . I'll be taking it out for a spin this weekend.

 

Well then, there's going to be some mighty fine shaving going on tomorrow morning. Maybe next year you can trade them back and enjoy them all over again.

I went fishing around and found THIS Is this what you were referring to? I found it in an older post of yours.

There was some confusion going on about Twin blades in another Forum a moment ago about the suitably of Twin blades for certain injectors...Forums are great place for sharing information but every now & then someone basically gives out the wrong Intel and confuses people...Someone was Negating my advice that Twin blade did not fit Type E & G injectors and this was causing some confusion because this Guy said they fitted fine..

Here is my response....

The information that I have and can tell you for certain is that they DO FIT ALL SCHICK INJCECTORS from the I Type onwards with the exception of Models with the "Rinsing Lever Function"...I wouldn't recommend them for PAL Injectors as the heads are very tight...I have also been informed from reliable sources that the PAL Injectors can be destroyed by twin blades cause they are thicker...I can confirm that the heads are very tight..Skull & Cross Bones...

I have also been informed that they can damage E & G Types and I haven't tried it...There are a few folks that have done this tho apparently...Some say they fit fine & others say they are a very tight fit...We make our choices on that one I suppose..

FOOT NOTE>>>Right... I have just had a look at the Twin Blades & they are not only thicker than single blades they are at least a full millimetre Wider as well...I have just tried them in an E Type that opens...I chose this injector because I will not have to force them in and I will be able to feel how things go..

I can tell you right now that they Do Not Fit an E Type injector....They are far too Wide by a long shot..I tried to close it & the blade is getting pushed over the blade stop because there is no room for the wider blade...That means they Do not Fit a G Type either..I have always known this anyway cause as I said the heads are tighter than earlier models & the Old Timer Schick users have told me this also...

A final word...I have no doubt that these blades will somehow go in when injected with a Key into a E or G Type..But I can tell you now that they will damage your injector because the back of the head will be forced back to get them in...In addition to this there will be too much tension on the blade stops & the spring...Whatever anyone says its Skull & Cross Bones...I can confirm that they do not Fit Properly...

Billy..
