So I spent some time tonight doing the final cleaning on my Schick Injector E series that I picked up on Ebay. Did I overpay for it? Probably, but I didn't want to miss it, and the others were more expensive.
So anyway, here's the beauty. I went to town on it with Lysol tile and tub spray, toothbrush, and pipe cleaner. I held the jaw open with a small plastic toothpick, which gave me just enough room to easily scrub the insides with a pipe cleaner.
I think it looks sharp, and can't wait to use it this Saturday. You can also see from the second picture that the blade (newly installed tonight) lines up with the two nubs perfectly, so the alignment should be good enough for an ATG shave. The box says this is from 1939, produced in Bridgeport CT! (my home state) and came with a twenty year warranty. Well, it's past that, but it's still in good shape!
