    Some days late. This Otto Busch is what I learned on. Somehow, I managed to dig into my chin and take a small slice out. No shaving since then until the wound heals. Otherwise, a fine shave :happy097:

    Schick Type G? Canadian made injector, vintage Schick Platinum plus blade, shave 2
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Here is what I am tentatively calling a Type G because of the spring. The Canadian made Type E and this one are anomalies since they don't perform like their American made counterparts. 2 shaves and at least to me there is no question this razor is much better than your standard American made Type G counterpart. I still can't say if this is the same as a Canadian Type E3 yet but it has confirmed that the blade I currently have loaded in the Canadian E3 is a dud and it isn't because they are designed in a subpar fashion. End result BBS finish achieved.
