Hi, all:
My first post. I've caught the bug pretty bad, and already have four gillette DE's, a late 40's superspeed, "NEW" open comb, a Tech and Fat Boy. These seemed to be a fairly good representation of the Gillette camp, so I decided to branch out into Schick Injector territory. I won an older model on eBay, with the gold head and cream-colored bakelite handle.
My first shaves have been brutal, like I'm using one of those razor paint scrapers. Granted, I think I have to adjust technique, being used to DE, but I think the blade might be loaded incorrectly, on top of those little nubs, rather than behind. In the interest of full disclosure, they are Rite-Aid blades, and it could be I've got to dismantle the razor to clean it out more thoroughly.
Could an Injector user out there post a closeup picture, with blade loaded? Any help would be greatly appreaciated!
BTW, I've also picked up a couple of GEMs. Can't wait to rip my face up with them!
