Gentlemen,
I need your help with a Schick injector razor that I recently acquired. I have not used an injector for years so I may as well be starting from scratch.
From what I can glean from the little research I have done, I may have a 1942 -1945 Military model with a butterscotch handle and a gold head. The case is of the clam shell design in very good shape and has a dark navy blue bottom with a black top?? The case has the inscription Schick Injector Razor on the lid in what I assume was gold lettering. The interior is red and fitted for the razor and an injector and has a gold inscription that is identical to that of the lid. The razor is in excellent condition. My problem, I think comes from the blades. After cleaning the razor I injected a new blade from the cartridge that came with the set. In fact I rejected the top blade in the cartridge and went with the second one. The cartridge is silver in color with a brass injector and is Schick Eversharp brand with twenty single blades.
The shave was not pleasant so I am thinking that the blades are either old and have degraded or the wrong blades. I have read many good things about these razors so I thought I would try one but this experience was not pleasant. Any help you gents can offer will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Doug
