Yikes!That's like seeing an old bedpan at an antique store and having them tell you it's worth more because it still has its contents.

I really need to write that book. I'm thinking Johnny Knoxville could play me in the movie. If I'm thinking of the right maroon he could win an Oscar!

True story, doggone it!

Keep at it guys, I think they are catching on! The blade is valuable in it's own right, a collector item to add to your "shaving display." Say it again, the blade is valuable too, don't leave it in there for somebody else to profit off of! 
So, if you frequent a well known auction site and type the same thing in frequently enough, they will give wonderful recommendations. As in you wonder what the person listing the item was... never mind. It seems they think a loose Gillette blue blade of unknown condition, presumably package able, is worth $17USD. I have seen some others for $25. Don't even ask about the $100 mint condition(opened) 5 packs or the empty cartridges...

That would be Schick injector razors. As far as I know, Schick DE razors get the same treatment as any other DE.
Ā
OUCH!

I just assumed he was talking about the SE ones. I had no idea what I was doing when I first started with an ancient Schick and took the old blade that was in it out with a tiny screwdriver, then proceeded to inject a new one in it and it was duller than my stupidest sibling. So I vote with the @Cumberland Sausage .
how the heck did my TracFone go to italics? I have been trying to figger that out for 5.5 years and now I stumbled upon it!
it's a Festivus Miracle doggone!

Iāve searched the web (not for hours mind you) but so far canāt find anything but opinions on forums that suggest Schick blades should be left in injectors.
I remove even those blades and have no problem loading another one in a blank razor.

If you're going to sell a straight, send it to me first. I have a bench grinder and can remove the blade for you.

I think itās one of things that has been repeated so much that itās become a āfactā. Iāve wondered if leaving a blade in an injector long term can cause it to become loose. Iāve bought a couple that had old blades in them for who knows how many years or decades that didnāt clamp down real tight on the new blade, a G8 in particular was so loose I could move the new blade around with my fingernail.
Ā
Saw this today, old blade is clearly visible.
Ā
I was at one of my local antique stores a while back looking at straight razors, and one case had a few. Picked them up, checked them out, like one does. The last one, I opened it and my first thought was "oh, it's a shavette." Second response was "oh, and it's still got a blade in it, complete with blood and whiskers." I chose not to buy that one.
