    I'm digging my 1967 Schick Dial Injector with new standard issue Schick blades set to "3". I can do no wrong. It cuts through everything no matter the direction - no pulling - no blood. Date night shaves every time. What a fantastic tool! Drinks for everyone. And it all got started with a G1 that got PIFed to me by Youngunn. Thanks again bro.

    I just got an ivory handled, gold head J1 for $. 50 at a swap meet. Ordered some blades for it when I got home.

    Great score! Did you go with the Personna or Schick blades?

    I got the Schick blades. I took the lazy way out and got them from Amazon. The Personnas they were selling had poor reviews so I held out until I could do more research.

    The Schick blades are great. I think they are currently made in China. They should make you happy. If you don't like your shave, try an adjustable with the same blades. I want to get a PAL stainless adjustable just to try it out.

    No, but he talked about it a few times though. He said he gave Otis a "twice over" when he went out of town in one episode.

    I just scored 13 NOS 5 packs of vintage Schick injector platinum coated SS blades. I will receive them in about a week. I can't wait to try them out but it's more than I need. I paid about $5 per pack delivered. PM me if you have any ideas on how I can share the wealth. I probably have 7 packs I can get rid of if there's any interest in these. I'm going to keep 2 or 3 packs to dress up some razors I might want to sell later.

    Edit: I found a taker on my excess blades offer. So these are done. Enjoy :)

    He also talked about how much he hated auto lather machines in one episode. He said there is nothing like a mug and a brush, He just loved the sound 'flop flop' you can't get that with a lather machine.

    If you used all of those it would no doubt be at the expense of all those other great razors you own! ;)

    I had the chance to get a Pal cheap but was thrown off by the very mixed reviews.

    I want to spend at least 30% of my time with my injectors because they shave so well. I was due to buy some Schick's anyway so I thought what the heck I'll go for vintage blades.

    Makes perfect sense. I look forward to trying my Injector. I used to use the Adjustable one in the 80's and I stupidly discarded it for the new multicarts of the time.

    You have a knack for getting great deals. I almost scored a PAL the other day. It was paired with another razor and I got snipped at the last minute because I got greedy and bid too low. I was hoping to get the PAL essentially for free but it wasn't to be. So I have to wait for another time. I think a PAL will definitely be worth a try if I can score it for about ten.

    The good thing is, you can afford to wait and get just the one you want for the price you want to pay. I remind myself that these things aren't necessary and stick to my guns. I adjust if it moves up a bit in priority but overall I just wait...and wait... and...

    I've mentioned this before, but tomorrow morning is the day I try the BIC Sensitive disposable shaver! Last time I tried one, it was the mid-ninties, and the experience wasn't too nice, but I didn't do any prep back then.
