I have been on a little bit of a Schick Injector kick and want to make sure the 3 I have are properly identified. This is probably a tired and often repeated question but, here goes: Where is the best place to learn to identify different Schick Injector razors for average people looking at something at a flea market for example or, like me curious about what they have in their possession beyond this one shaves great and that one not so much so? I'm thinking there has to be a good online guide or a webpage will be helpful but, random searches are a bit hit or miss. TIA, Sid p.s. my razors as of today:
@BBS posted a pretty comprehensive series about Schick injector razors. The thread begins here, and includes links to each letter of the Schick alphabet. https://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/schick-band-razors-for-dummies.64937/
A couple places: https://www.therazorcompany.com/blogs/history-of-wet-shaving/schick-razors-a-brief-history http://www.safetyrazors.net/schick/schicktech.htm Both good Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk
That site is now defunct. Same info now hosted here: https://razors.page/safetyrazors.net/SchickTech/ I take it that people generally do not follow the new designations as defined by @BBS . The letters are of course the same, but the # designations are not. @BBS uses the term "variant" followed by a #, where as Appleby used the letter (e.g. G) with a # appended. The variants as defined by @BBS are designed so that razors that shave the same are ID'd by the same variant #, regardless of other cosmetic differences (text stamped on the head) or color/type of handle. Of course "shave the same" is subjective, and is merely one shaving enthusiast's opinion. That being said, the "dummies guides" for Schick Injectors written by @BBS is extremely helpful, and unique. I'm not sure that there is anyone else on the web that has used all of these razors and variants, and can compare them to the extent that he has.
