G66 Stupid and Lucky

Even though I am a DE shaver, I love the Schick G series, partly because my dad used one, and partly because I like their looks. So I have acquired more than...well more than 3.

A couple months back, I found a G66 on eBay. It was beautiful. I liked it so much, I decided to carry it with me on my frequent trips as a backup, for buffing, and for general clean up.

So last week I was in New Jersey, and I left my hotel room without it. In all my travels, I have yet to stay in an hotel where they actually returned something I left behind. But this was a special case and I hounded them. No luck.:a52:

I had only ever seen that one G66 at eBay, although I don't visit often, trying to control my RAD. After my third call to the hotel, (Now I was in Chicago), I went to eBay, beginning what I thought would be a long search...but lo and behold, there was a G66 that looked to be in great shape. Almost 4 days left for the bidding, I put mine in and hoped. As much as I love these razors, I still had what I consider a sane limit.

And...I just won. My new G66 should be waiting for me when I return from this eternal trip on July 3rd. :a50::a50::a50:

A vow, I will never risk my G66 again. One of my regular G Injectors will go with me instead (My DE is a Weber PH. If I leave that behind you can just go ahead and lock me up.).:innocent:

Sometimes razors actually break, so if you see a good deal on another one, pick up a spare. I've been shaving with a type G8 - square, partially ribbed handle - for the last couple of weeks. great shaves!

Congratulations!! Glad to hear you found a replacement. I really like the blue handles on those. I've just started shaving with G type injectors and they shave very nicely.

Jim, will do. Final cost with shipping on this was $12.

Ben, yes. I now own 4 G's, and have PIFed another. If DE's went away and injector blades were still available, I would be quite happy with the Schick G.

Hey, I managed to win a G4 "Model 66" this evening on the bay as well. It'll be my first G4 and my fourth G overall. As always, I'm hoping it cleans up well.... but I didn't pay too much for it either.

Ben
 
I love these..... they look horrendous on the bay, but I know darn well this will clean up great. Just hope nothing else about it is "tweaked".

Ben
 
looks like you got some serious flossing to do there. You should be able to get that out by sticking the injector in, push out the blade and flush well.

Hey, my Eversharp Schick G4 Injector showed up today in the mail. It's soaking. Looks pretty nice. I'm gonna shave with it this evening after some Lysol and rubbing alcohol. The chrome plating is very nice and the handle is in great condition as well. I'm pleased.
