Seems that the Shick Injector was "put out pasture", literally. Discontinued as a razor for humans but carries on only as a razor for veterinarians to use on horses and other large animals.
Fans of Injector razors likely know that the final Schick Injector model produced was the Type O, sold only in Japan, and discontinued in 2001:
Well, it seems that Schick is still manufacturing a similar razor:
It is sold at veterinarian stores (only in Europe, as far as I know) alongside Schick Injector blades. But before you go scouring European veterinarian websites looking to purchase it, there is one major problem - this razor lacks a bar guard, so it would be inadvisable to shave your face with it:
Thought this oddity might interest some. Also, I think it indicates that the Injector handle did not become unprofitable but rather that it was voluntarily withdrawn from the market, given that it is still profitable to manufacture solely as a tool for veterinarians.
