Injector & SE Party !!!

To add insult to injury, I paid $7 for mine (Ebay).

 

Ive been using my Type D the last couple days. What a great little razor.

 

Not. Fair.

And you have a beautiful Schick D?!?! Nice!

 

Slotted for shaving sometime this coming week


On the left the Gem Micromatic open comb and on the right a Gem Clog Pruf both with a Pal blue carbon steel blade.

 

I’ll been fortunate to have owned most of the Schick models, including the Type O. The Type D, F and C3 repeater are my favorites and see regular use.

Terrific! I have B, E, G, H, I, J, L, and M models. I have a type O clone but not the real deal. I'm missing some of the harder to find models.

 

Hmmm, lets see...For Schicks, I've had, C3, E2, F, Gs (lots),H, I2,Js, K, Ls,3 different M types, N, tried an O but never owned one...

Lets see....hmmm, I guess thats it...}8^(

But, from my limited ecperience...I'd have to say I never met a Schick Injector I didn't dig!!

If I had to pick a favorite....well the repeaters are too cool for school! And the C3 is my fave -shave from that genre.

That being said...I only have one razor that it would break my heart to part with.... That would have to be:


This razor has attained this lofty level of importance for many different reasons. I'll name just a few...
1. The first razor I ever noticed. I was 4 years old and flipped out over watching my Dad shave. He was using a Hydro-magic.
2. When I got my first razor, my Pop gave me his old I2 that I had watched him using as a kid.
3. When I first rediscovered TWS after decades of carts, and I read an article that folks were still using DE and Injector razors...my first thought was...man! I'VE GOT TO FIND AN OLD HYDRO-MAGIC!
4. Fast forward a couple years later, and I'm using a Slim and hanging out here. Whenever I saw an I2 my heart would flutter, and I'd remember my Pop. I mentioned it one time in a post, and StingraysRock sent me his (this one) and surprised me.
5. This razor rocked my World...Best shave of my life kinda thing...A veritable Shave Life-Defining moment...So....
6.I started this SE and Injector Party thread, because of this razor!.

The list goes on...But...the Schick I2 would have to be my "Highlander" razor..."If there could be only one" LOL!

Shaved with it today....Still Rocks My World! It's one of those, "Good as it gets razors! My Pop knew what he was doing! }8^))

Easy shave. Can't ask for much else to get the work week started. Have a great day!

 

It just doesn't get much better IMO With my E2 Schick injector and new "Chick" blade.

 

I love this razor. A nice cross-over between a single edge and a straight. It mowed down my six week old beard this morning with no problem.

Happy shaving - Karl

 

Started off the week with one of my favorite razors. Maybe not as close of a shave as the C3 repeater but makes up for it in the cool factor.

 

Monday's shave

Schick C3 repeating razor

​

I own all three of the C’s but the solid bar version provides the nicest shave imo. The type C’s are rather unique in that the head of the razor is so much lighter than the body.

​

 

How do you find that that balance, of the head being lighter than the body affects the shave?

I hear ya! F type is an amazing shaver...and the C3 is in a class by itself...I'm with you on all counts!

Wonderful shave with the Schick 66. Enjoy your day!

 

sport shaving is great, I got a new Gillette Long OC from him 2 years ago

 

no surprise, but Steve Meadowlands has a Deadman! from the mail calls I see from him, he literally gets over 50 percent of every artisan, soap, splash set that is released ever week. I really think he could have a 2 year rotation, and use it once every 2 years. the man must have a walk in closet or spare bedroom for his stuff! Everytime I question my shave buying sanity I think of his collection and dont feel so bad. hahaha. ... but yeah I been slowing down, only amazing release's now.
