    The Schick E type of injector variants are great and the G types are similar, they can give a nice shave with a new modern blade. Some of those old blades are not what they use to be so I always recommend a new blade so you have a good standard to base other blades that you might come across.
    Lots of folks like the Schick blades that can be bought on Amazon in a yellow package of 7 to start with. (using old blades might turn you off from using a injector like it almost did from my experiences.)
    Enjoy!

    Our local Bi Mart has the Schick injector cartridges for
    $5.60/7-pak. Good price, I think.

    Are there better injector blades than Schick?

    Congrats!
    Like you, I'm a vintage guitar fan and recently added a few vintage Gillette Super Speed razors, ranging from 1952-1955.

    They’re pretty hard to beat.

    Except of course if you are able to score a vintage pack of Personna 74’s. But those will set you back a wee bit more than $5.60.

    Seemed like a steal at that price. I was expecting someone to swoop in the last minute and outbid me!
