    Schick Easy Rider injector, vintage Schick Twin blade, shave 9
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Injector razor I've had for awhile now but never got around to trying out. Razor is also referred to as an L6 and the Easy Rider name is for guard as seen in the picture because the teeth are supposed to protect you from cutting yourself hence easy riding on the face. It is not named or was a promotional for the movie Easy Rider. See youtube video commercial for the razor at bottom for more marketing info.

    Razor is mild but it performed well beyond my expectations considering it was never designed for a twin blade. First off I used some serious pressure with no cuts or irritation from the shave and with all that said this razor flat outperformed the various Type L razors made from 73 onward that were designed for twin blades. It is in the same league as the Type N injectors with a twin blade. It is not a better shaver but would be a satisfactory runner up if it was all you had to use with twin blades. It is good enough it made it into my NFS (Not For Sale) pile of razors based on this shave.
    End result BBS finish achieved.

    Oh so nice! Smooth & clean in 3. A shame that it is no longer in production. One of the best smooth, mild & deceptively efficient AC format razors in the game. Easy on the face, tough on the whiskers. A wonderful evening and shaves to all....
