Injector & SE Party !!!

Okay, I'm not sure it's a blade, You're right, it may be the metal guide. So now where do I go? Are there any blades left in it? If so, the loader sould fall out when you pull back on the plunger or cocking mechanism, right?

 

Yeah, that's how mine works.

 

Well, when i pull back on it, the loader is still inside the handle.It will not come out period. I don't have those instructions, but distinctly remember it saying, the only way to reload it , is ALL the blades are used and loaded in the head, meaning the last blade is used and had been loaded. Then when you pull back on the handle cocking mechanism, the loader should come out along with that spring. I beleive it's stuck, and will not work, just a waste of money.

 

Changed in C model

I was reading where schick changed that spring type plunger in the C models, calling it The Simplified Schick Automatic Razor! I wish someone would help me to get it to work. I just want the loader out of the handle.

 

I wish I could help more. Mine had a couple old blades in it when I got it and they were stuck. In fact the loading echanism wouldn't close all of the way. I kept messing around with it and suddenly it closed and a blade came out. After that it cycled the second old blade out and it's worked ever since.

I wouldn't consider it a waste, you can still load a blade in manually and shave with it. A member at B&B mailed his C model to me to try out and it's definitely simpler to operate but he said he only maunually loads the blade and doesn't use the repeater system.

Hopefully Slivovitz will be able to help more than I did, he is the injector guru.

 

Thanks

Thanks for all the help Tom! I really appreicate it. Here's your pic of the Gillette Platinum Plus Injector Blades.

Thanks! I don't remember ever seeing those before. Have you used any?

 

So the loader "key" is stuck in the head of the razor? If that's the case, then see if you can get a chopstick or shish-kabob skewer into the head on the other side. This can be used to open up the space in the head a bit larger and may allow you to get the "key" of the injector out. I used this technique to remove an old rusty blade from my I1 and then left it in there to clean it thoroughly.

 

The B type doesn't use the traditional dispenser with a key. The blades are loaded into the handle and then loaded from there into the head which is rotated at a 45 degree angle to line up with the slot the blade comes from in the handle.

 

No Tom, I have not! I was tempted to use just one, maybe I will!

Thanks, Sharpy, but Tom is right. We were trying to deal with this B-2 model Schick. I'm starting to think, maybe if the repeater/loader is empty, and you don't put the spring back in right, and don't load any more bldes in it then results: will not ever open again, and repeater/loader may not . Maybe? It's like putting an empty clip back in your gun, but with this the clip won't come back out because something is wrong somewhere.

 

Beautiful Injector!

 

Ahh, I see. You fellas are well ahead of me so I'll just step aside and let you play through! Good luck!

Good Luck with getting it operating!

 

I'm not sure that I'll be able to help much, my guruosity isn't all that great. I'm also not at home right now where I can look at what I'm writing about.

It sounds to me like there may be a bent blade loader clip in there that is jamming everything. I've had this happen on a minor scale with the B and the A, but was able to wiggle things out. There's also a kind of retaining screw on the A, which can be loosened to let the slide come all the way out of the razor, which makes things easier. I don't think there's anything like that on the B, but as I said, I don't have mine in front of me right now.

I could be wrong about this next part, but from what I've seen, a new pack of blades for these repeaters would have come with its own clip, which was supposed to be disposable. (Edit) Actually there was a retaining clip which you threw away before loading, and the clip that held the blades. Once the separate injector magazines came out, starting with the type D, people may have started saving the old clips to use with the new blades. There are still a lot of those old clips around, but they were never intended to last this long, and may be pretty worn by now. They can get bent, and jam up the works. I'm afraid that I'd just have to improvise if I'd run across one that couldn't be opened just a little way. Sorry, no magic tricks. Oh, maybe try to get some lubricant in there in hopes that it will slide open a little further and you'll be able to see more. Did someone suggest that already?

I prefer to take my chances with using the proper loading mechanism anyway, although I only put one blade at a time in the clip. Sliding the blade in without the mechanism should work, although you may need to straighten the blade out by carefully pushing on the corners (no blade stops).

 

Thanks Slivo! I think you hit it right on the head and made a lot of sense too. No suggestions on Lub. I will try some wd-40 in there where the guide is showing on the tip, also in the handle when I pull it out. Let soak for a day or 2. I had a chance to read some instructions on the B-model, and should have made a copy, foolish of me not to. I guess there's no other way to get that bent loader clip out? Thanks! Also, I don't see any screw other than the one that's on the head assembly!

 

Told you he'd come through. Slivovitz when you talk about the loader clip is that it in this photo?

 

No, it's not. Not sure if "blade loader clip" is what I should be calling it, but anyway, I already have some photos on Photobucket. In the picture below, it's the black piece in the middle. There are no blades in it, or maybe I just had one in there. You should be able to stack quite a few in there, and it's pretty obvious how they have to go, once you notice that one side of the clip is marked "rear". In the type B, you can push in the clip with the blades, and then push in the spring after it. I'm pretty sure there's an actual instruction sheet somewhere on B&B, but I can't recall if it's in a thread or in their razor instructions.

 

Indeed he did Tom! That is a very interesting photo Tom. Maybe that's the spring clip there? Maybe?

 

Thanks for the photo Slivo! The spring must put tension upward on the loader.

 

So Tom in your photo, you are actually missing the loader clip, right? Slivo's photo shows the loader clip plus the spring tensioner!

 

This is as far as mine will go!
