So I was able to get my hands on an unused Schick Injector, I believe it's the Type I (1955-1958), white handle, gold colored head. It's got a nice feel to it, and I'm looking forward to trying it for the first time.
I did not, however, want to use the sealed blades that it came with, mostly because it's obviously just so old. So I bought the CVS brand "Platinum Chrome" injector blades (11 blades for $4.19)...
I was wondering if anyone here knows if these are any good? Is it possible that CVS repackages the same blades made for Schick with 11 per vault rather than the 7 Schick gives you? I have the patent number here, if it's any help.
Patent No. 3,848,770
They do not indicate anywhere on the box where they're made... (Haven't seen the blade itself, yet.)
