Does anyone know if Blackland, Colonial, ikon, Razorock are looking into a stainless steel premium injector?
Are any razor makers working or looking into a premium injector?

Shane from Blackland has stated he intends to release an injector later this year.
Razorock responded to an Instagram comment question that they will not make an injector because they don't think they would sell due to limited blade availability. I wonder if the popularity of the new Parker adjustable injector may have changed their mind?
The Supply stainless may meet your criteria. Maggards may still have the no longer made Mingoose in stock.
Oh great. So no Restraint this year then.
Shane talked about experimenting with some designs, but last I heard there were no guarantees that he would ever release it
How would you define 'premium'?
If @Blackland Razors does an injector I would buy it instantly (tagging shane so he sees this). I would absolutely love to add such a thing to my den.
Definitely. I just have other things on my plate first. Also, the type of injector I want has changed forms several times so I'm still narrowing in on a design direction, functionality type, materials, and cost. Lots of ideas and not much time!
Awesome, I'll try not to hold my breath but I will definitely keep an eye out!
After all, my two blackbirds and my vector get lonely.
They'll be getting new family members soon, but no injector just yet!
Supply is a decent shaver, I bought one when they first came out. My problem with them was that the blade stops were about 3mm tall, so I was effectively shaving with 2/3 of the width of the blade.
I used a diamond plate to take the stops down to 1mm, and shorten & round the guard, and is now one of my favorites.
If they haven't changed the stops, I could not recommend it, at its current price-point.
Mine is the V2 and no such problem.
How's the lay of the land for injector blade choices? I have not used an injector since the 1960s. There were only a few choices back then.
Pretty much still just Schick and Personna in the game. Fortunately these are both good choices for me with the Schicks being slightly better.
I think there are two choices, Chinese Schicks (aka Chicks) and Personna. Anyone know of other choices?

Namely japanese schick twins, but they are essentially the same price as cartridges here in the US.
Both th are good, but I lean toward the personna side. I have 500 of them... Oops.
Mongoose had the Mingoose a while back that took injector blades. It landed with a great thud. I’d thought about trying one out but I was never able to get much feedback on the actual shave from anyone who owned one.

I've heard YPM is
My experience with Mingoose was very similar or identical to the one with Mongoose Batch2. Efficient but a bit harsh. Never enjoyed shaving with it.

I'd love something that looks similar to the Vector but takes injector blades. The Vector is so sleek.
