I'm quite liking the look of injectors. They seem to be an excellent step away from cartridge razors, yet retain a bit of familiarity. I've seen many of the Schicks and others for sale, but I wanted to see what everyone's favorite was. I've been VERY fortunate to find a member locally who is hooking me up with a couple to try, and am very anxious to try them out.
Injectors--which is YOUR favorite?

I do think at some point I'll have to acquire a Type E, if for no other reason than they look cool. I've got a friend who is a total Luddite, and if all else fails, he'd love it as a Christmas present.
My Type E 
I had at least one "I" model in the late 1950s, and a J model in the 1960s, but from about 1966 onward, for twenty years, it was DEs about five days a week, and one or another cartridge on Sundays. I never wondered where either Injector had gotten to. That was 50 years ago. Since coming here, I have four Injectors. I have Schick's E-model, Eversharp's G-3 and G-8, and a Hydromagic.
I like the Hydromagic best of the Injectors.

This I2 Hydro-magic.
My favorite looking is the E with it's Butterscotch/Carmel Handle, my favorite performing is the J with it's long Handle.
I have a Type G, and a Type L. Both great shavers!
Pal stainless steel adjustable. Great razor.
That is one very interesting, very beautiful looking razor. I'm very curious: what do you mean you "added a shine" to it? Did you replate it?
I am pretty fond of the Type E, G and I models.
+1. I love shaving with the I, E and G types, but I'll agree with Tom that the I-type wins by a nose.
I didn't get a case with mine. It's been way too long to remember how the one in 1956 or 1957 was packaged. It was a dark colored handle, on a "plain" I-model Injector. Prior to the recent $22 for a Fat Boy, my current Hydromagic was the most expensive of my newer acquisitions. It shaves better than anything else that I have now.
These D-types were originally gold plated.

These are my favorite injectors and they do shave well, but no better than the other type E & G... the Schicks give a good, smooth shave, maybe not as close as some of the other SE razors, but they're great for a fast shave with no cuts. These are my type G2 & G3 gold models that Schick put out as Christmas products in 1945 & 1946:
