    Golly, I love Goodwill stores. I know the Super Inoxydable blades have kind of a spotty reputation but no way I could leave them behind. And besides if they aren't any good I'm only out $6. I can see R and S date codes so that puts their production in 1996 and 97. The injector blades are from 1974 and I know how great they are.

    You're batting a thousand this week!

    I'm pretty sure the Goodwills over here now toss all shaving stuff when it comes in the door, as a matter of policy. I have an idea why they do this...and it makes sense from a certain point of view (I won't say what it is but it isn't a sanitation issue). I know the manager of one store, I need to ask her if I'm right.

    Not as good as your deal Tom but I found a store with some (I think maybe NOS now) Personna Platinum Chrome Injector blades for $2.49 per 11-pack. I picked up a couple packs in hopes that I'll find an injector razor to try them in someday. They had about a dozen more packs though. What's your opinion on these blades? Worth it to buy some more?

    HoosierTrooper, I never see razor blades in my Goodwills or other thrift shops. You are indeed lucky.

    feeltheburn, yes, you should buy up all those injector blades. Injector razors are cheap and shave even better than DE's...or you could sell them to me.

    Same for my local goodwill stores. No shaving supplies but lots of VCR's and cassette players.

    I would've grabbed every package, bit I use injectors quite frequently.

    I should be driving right by the place again today so maybe I'll grab them.

    Well, I've got a huge mess of injector blades. :) Thanks for the advice Tom and lindyhopper. I've got a bid in on a nice looking injector razor on ebay too. I'm pretty excited to try one out.
