Injector question

[Flintstone65]

I have used Personna Injector blades for many years and I think they are good blades. I remember using them as the Long's Drugs house branded platinum blades. I have always disliked the injector body itself because it can be fiddly. Long's no longer carries these, but they do have the Schick blades which I buy from them. Schick blades are a bit smoother and the injector housing is sound.

...I have always disliked the injector body itself because it can be fiddly.

As if on cue, I had my first ever failure to inject with the EMS Personna blades. An easy fix, it just needed the pusher front tab adjusted, but now I totally believe you that they can be fiddly!

Injectors are a great starting place, IMO. I started with injector types before moving on to DE razors. If you are interested in acquiring an injector, I have one for sale in the marketplace section. It's not an adjustable, but honestly, you don't need an adjustable. The one I have up for grabs is a type J2 (fairly mild) Schick injector (stamped M25).

FSOT - Mühle R41 Twist & Schick Type J2

FOR SALE OR TRADE 1) Mühle R41 Twist DE Razor, gently used and in like new condition. Comes with packaging. This razor was purchased new and has only been used 3 times. It's just too aggressive for me. Will sell for $40 shipped, but am also willing to trade. 2) Vintage Schick Type J2 Injector...

Just wanted to update you. I got my injector and found the shaves to be EXCELLENT! I wish I found this razor before DE’s. I tend to get a far better shave from it than I do just about any DE as far as irritation goes , and it’s extremely intuitive to edge a sharp beard line with.

Welcome to the club!!! I'm sure I've said this more times than I can count, but if I were to have only one razor, it would be an injector. Comfort, closeness, ease of use....they can't be beat (at least IMO).

Outstanding! Which injector model did you get?

I agree heartily, but I have no plans to limit myself to one razor ever again!
