First, thank you Thrideye for this week's RotW. Your choice of razor came right on the heels of the last few days of reflecting at the sink on how injectors don’t seem to get a whole lot of press here. That being said if you are sitting on one, I encourage you to dust it off and give it a try for a week.
I came into possession of an L1 Schick injector a few months back along with a Slim and an SS during the unfortunate business of clearing our my late Grandmother's house. I believe the injector was one of my Uncles' as the dates are all wrong for that particular handle to be my Grandfather’s. While the other two have been in heavy rotation along with my GEM, I finally remembered to pick up blades out in town last week. As an interesting side note, while I haven’t seen any Injector handles in town, finding injector blades (2 types, Schick I and II, 10 blades for 950-1150 yen respectively) is a easier than finding DE blades.
I am certainly kicking myself for not doing this sooner. This razor has been giving me the most consistently amazing shaves. Out of curiosity, how may of you keep one in your normal rotation?
