I've tried the Chicks and the EMS blades...both are OK... I like Schick Injector razors, but these blades don't impress. What should I be looking for?
That's it on a retail level, the blades sold by EMS are made by Personna and they are the only other company that produced injector blades. I like the Chinese Schicks a lot, much better than the Personna blades. In my not so humble opinion the best injector blade ever made is the long out of production Personna 74, they show up in the BST sometimes and on the bay, but they are usually very expensive. There are also several vintage Schick, Personna and Gillette injector blades available on the bay and the BST.
Wasn't there a message thread about having to hand-load empty dispensers because the bulk blades are sold for medical hardware that differs from an Injector razor's mechanism?That's it on a retail level, the blades sold by EMS are made by Personna and they are the only other company that produced injector blades.

Incidentally, I got tired of "just missing" countless Schick "I" model razors, and bought one as a Buy it Now, for which I paid close to twenty times its original cost (about a dollar, I think). I've been using a G8 from time to time, but it is older than what I'd actually used back in the dawn of my personal beard history.
I'm currently using Schick Plus Platinum in my PAL injector. View attachment 241095
(I got the blades off eBay in a huge quantity - which I sold half and recouped almost all my original cost!)
