I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of September part 2. A gem micromatic bullet tip. As great as the injector shaves me I cant wait for the Gem. I love a straight razor shave and I've heard that the SE razors give the same feel.
Both of those are fantastic shavers.......Congratulations! Let us know how your shave tomorrow goes.... The G8 was early 50s and the I1 was 55 I believe....
1946 G 2 & 1947 G 3.... Hers is my Schick Christmas Special Edition Type G 2 & G3 Injectors...The One at the top is the 1947 G 3 and the one below is the 1946 G 2 ...The Type G 2 has a higher Karat and is a lot heavier than the Type G 2 and a tad longer ... The Type G 2 is a Beautiful Piece of Functional Jewellery Sir... Billy
That's the site/list I saw... The descriptions might be good of the different models subtleties but I couldn't decipher anything with the pictures. Or lack of differences in the lack of pictures.
I also picked this one up today. Decent shape, only real blemish is on the port side of the handle. Looks like it got close to something warm. Now, I checked the bay and only found basically one choice for Schick injectors blades(yellow box of 7ea). What blades are there available and where do you normally find them.
For new blades you only have two kinds to choose from Personna/Ted Pella Injector or the Yellow Schick blades.
I myself am lucky. I can buy the Schick blades locally at a mom and pop drug store. You might try the smaller local drug stores in your area. They might carry them.
September 10, 2015 Morning shave Hot Shower Soap: Proraso Green Brush: Omega Pro 48 Razor: Schick Type E - Canada Blade: Schick Injector (China) (4) TSD Witch Hazel Aftershave Cream: Proraso After Shave: Proraso Green Fourth shave with the Canadian Schick Type E and same blade. I'm improving with each shave. I can only imagine what this razor would provide after a 30-day Rule. Eight hours later - no sign of growth! Absolutely none. Cheers! RT
Besides the yellow Chinese Schick blades and the personna 74 blades and the personna platinum chrome blades what other new circulation blade options are there?
NOS Schick Platinum or Schick Platinum Plus blades are excellent Sir....NOS Gillette Platinum Plus are excellent as well...NOS Schick Krona blades are smooth and depending what injector you are using NOS Schick/Gillette Twin Blades are awesome....There are also current Schick single & twin blades available from Japan on EBay but I have never tried them... Billy
I don't use anything other than NOS Twin Injector Blades in my Schick Adjustable.....There are plenty of NOS Schick Twin Injector Blades on EBay at the moment for more than a good price....Snap them up now..... You wont regret buying them Sir Billy
agree...IMO everyone here should know EVERYTHING that there local beauty and barber supply stores sell....I have a local beauty supply store that I can get personna injectors at and they aslo sell a few merkur razors. also I saw a few gem SE's that I had never seen yesterday (2 for $8), but didnt know anything about them...they both looked like they took a regular DE blade and were very obviously designed after the schick M and I think G....anyone know anything about these and are they good shaver's? was also going to ask if they are worth the price but im pretty sure I know the answer to that one.
