first schick injector shave in 50 years!

Thanks to Brian DiP, I got to have my first shave with a Schick injector razor in 50+ years today! Found blades, by Schick, at my local Rainbow grocery. I may have to sell my DE collection - this was one fine shave!

They are great little razors. I don't know when I first used one but I do know I was using one when I went into the service in 1960. My last 5 shaves were with a G1. I find the shave very smooth and not very aggressive. While I still prefer a DE, I use the Schick every 6 months or so and use it until it needs a new blade. It is a fine shave.

I have a couple of Schick Injectors and a Pal adjustable. I like to shave with the Schick whenever I want or need a good single pass shave, or maybe just WTG and XTG. It'll take off a lot of hair in a hurry. I've shaved my head with it but it takes more concentration than my DEs. Wouldn't want to scalp myself.

I actually find it easier to shave my head with an injector. Easier for me to get BBS with fewer passes. 1 pass vs 2

No argument there. The injector takes off a lot of hair in a single pass. Kinda like an SE. I just need to get more practice with it before doing so again.

I too have recently fell in love with injectors, try loading it with a feather pro super trimmed to fit

I use my grandfathers Type L in my weekly rotation... great shaves with an injector!

I'm still trying to find some Feather Pro Guard blades here locally. Sally Beauty Supply didn't have any. but I did get another bottle of Master Bay Rum while I was there.
