Schick B1 repeater

[KeenDogg]

Hey gang, I picked up a B1 model injector but it seems to be missing the loading tray. Is there anyone making them or do I have to hunt for an old one?

Haven't heard of anyone making them -- I'd be interested in one if they did. I think it's a hunt-item. I will say that these Magazine Repeaters aren't difficult to hand load (using needle-nose pliers, an ejected injector blade, and a steady hand), and I've heard that blade loading with the original hardware can be somewhat of a challenge. Apparently modern blades are thicker (or perhaps thinner) and have a tendency to jam when using the magazine repeater....that's what I've heard, I'm a hand-loader when it comes to my A, B, C's (it's easy as 1-2-3....sorry, slipped into a Jackson Five song).

Thanks, Fred. I will do just that. Thank you. A very cool art deco design is what drew me in.

It draws a lot of us in! The magazines come up for auction from time to time. I too hand load mine.

 

[KeenDogg]

Will other repeater magazines fit?

 

[Flintstone65]

I want to say yes....but it's a "logical" guess on my part. I believe that the tray and blades (i.e., the magazine) stayed the same for the repeaters....but I'd love to have confirmation on that. @Whiterook -- do you know?

 

[Whiterook]

I am pretty sure they are. I have an original box with a full magazine of replacement blades and it includes loading instructions for both the B and C types. These were war production. I doubt the A type had its own magazine design.

 

[NotThatMatt]

I have A, B, and C types and yes, the magazine is standard across all repeaters.

It is also a highly underrated shaver, though. It is my favorite of the injector razors.

Awesome. Thanks for the help. I will shave with it this weekend. Will all injector blades work? I don't have any new ones but some old famex injector tor blades and think some old twinjectors around.

I wouldn't try the twins in it, but any others will work.

Thanks. I thought not, but am a novice to injectors
