To clarify, I made this statement in regards to examining a razor for purchase. It is extremely difficult to damage a razor while inserting a blade.If the razor does not look bent or damaged you are probably okay.
I have this exact razor. You will NOT be disappointed. The blades you ordered work well also. It is a smooth and forgiving shaver as well, on par with any of my DE razors.Here are the pictures from the injector I purchased. I paid $22 U.S and the shipping was free. I feel like it was a fair deal. Not sure what to look for but it seemed nice to me and consistent with other pictures I've seen of G1 injectors
It seems like most beginners to wet shaving are recommended new or vintage DEs. Sometimes people recommend certain new models of SEs but rarely if ever recommend vintage SEs or injectors. From what I've read it seems like most new comers to wetshaving should try injectors before anything else. Everyone says the shaving style is much more like a cartridge and more intuitive than working to find the correct angle with a DE. I've been getting very good close shaves with a Dorco PL 602 with Feather blades. I have given myself some razor burn at times from having difficulty finding my correct cutting angle and using a bit too much pressure. I had the same issues using cartridges whether they had 2 or 5
blades, often got razor burn in the exact same areas trying to get a very close shave. I thought about getting a heavier DE but after reading how many experienced wetshavers with substantial and expensive DE collections prefer the Schick injectors and think they are better for beginners, I had to find one. Can't wait to give it a try.
