Recommend an Injector please

[Haggises]

I haven't bought a razor in over a month and I'm getting itchy.
I keep seeing you guys having great shave with injectors so looking for recommendations since I know diddly about them.

Current likes for guidance:
DE: Slim set on 7, 40s SS, Black Beauty
SE: 1914, 1924, 1912, Gbar

Help me prepare for Shicktober, Shickuary, Shickril and Shickly.

I like the newer ones, and use an L1 from the early 70's all the time.

I2 hydro magic is by far my favorite after just using mine once. A close 2nd place would be the long handle J models, but you can't go wrong with an easy to find E or G type. They all shave like a dream. If $ is a factor, get an E or G. HECK, hit me up in a PM, I have a few I could part with for a super price if it would interest you.

Try the adjustable M model- gives you a choice of aggressive or mild.

The Schick Injector is the finest razor ever designed by man, in my unbiased opinion.

I'm a 75 year old guy with whiskers of average coarseness who started using an injector in 1957. My favorite injector is the type G, closely followed by the type I and the adjustable type M.

Hi praise indeed from someone who should know!

I no longer have one of those Js, but I did have one back when it was new. I like the I Models, and have shaved six times in two weeks with my I2 Hydromagic. I do like it.

That's when I got my first Injector also. I am 72 now, and had to start shaving before age 14 because of school dress codes about mustaches and sideburns, but I used some really old SE at first, once a week, then twice a week, you know the drill. Like many adolescents, I was clumsy, and a DE was more or less beyond the limits of my manual dexterity. Almost everyone I knew used an electric. I couldn't stand the skin irritation, and started using an I model near the end of my Junior year in high school. I changed after I got married, possibly because facial hair was the popular thing, and DEs trimmed bushy sideburns into shape with ease.

Thanks all - decided to go cheap and cheerful and available and easy with what I think is a boxed G in reasonable condition.
For less than 8 bucks, what could possibly go wrong.....

I would go for an adjustable schick. You can make it damn aggressive or milder than a tech depending on the setting. The spread of adjustment is just impressive, and it isn't really 1-8 as solid stops, it has like five stops in between each hard number you can stay at which is great. That one shaves great and feels real good in the hand. I really cannot stand the handle on the g. Between the slick, teeny handle, lack of mass, and my huge hands, it makes me want to get jabby with the thing every time I give it another chance. It's literally the only razor that makes me do that too...

I think you will really enjoy it Haggises, it shaves close to my favorite Schick Injector the E3. Let us know how your first shave goes!
