Wed 17th Jan Today used a Schick G8, which is not one of my favoured Injectors as in the past I have found it to be rather harsh in comparison with others. Fitted with a Proline blade I found it to work better but still not as smooth as other Razors using the same blade. I was quite pleased with the ease of Shave , but honestly the overall quality of finish lags behind that I can attain with other Injectors, but I do have a strong beard growth.
I have a G8 that feels like my E2. I can not tell the shaves apart really. Light years different then my G1.
Williams Wednesday's Shave Proraso Pre Shave Williams Mug Shave Soap JR#206 2-band Badger Schick H (the Hussy) Schick Twin CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Vegetal I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with the JR #206 2-band Badger brush. I did two passes with the Schick H Razor with a Schick Twin blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... The Hussy is delivering BBS shaves in just two passes. I got the Williams down just right and it rinses very easily. Awesome shave today.

That looks like a G1 in the picture, not a G8. The G8 has the plastic handle with the Googie-inspired accents. I love the G8, but find the G1 too harsh for me personally.

Actually there are Japan sellers on ebay that havrme them for 25 shipped. it takes 3 or 4 weeks to arrive, but if u dig there on ebay... but it now.... at least a few months ago, unless Schick finally stopped making them. .. BTW,,,, I bought a proline magazine from you a week ago. peace , jamie
That was Aliexpress. store is YAQI brush. only cost around 13 bucks!!! 30mm tuxedo knot. it is a friggin beast. here is side by side comparison.
agree, that aint no G8 ... I am also G8 fan, my favorite type G, and the one I have was NOS when it 1st used it.
