I finally tried out this combination and want to share this experience with you. I was away 35 days and when I came back today a 1939 Schick Injector(caramel plastic handle) was waiting for me along with a zillion other pieces of junk. Excellent condition with original case and instruction sheet. When I was away I picked a CVS pack of injectors. Now don't freak out but I also used Noxzema shave cream with Aloe,Lanolin and Glycerin. I did a two pass shave WTG/ATG. Fantastic results. First off I read a lot about the CVS injectors and most guys think there OK but I found them to be excellent. And believe it or not ATG was extremely smooth and "NO" irritation. I have only positive comments about Noxzema. Maybe its the ingredients that make the difference but I like it. Is it better then a brush shave. To be honest I don't even no anymore. I was thinking about the Classic Cobra but two things turn me off. One the price($125) and its not a true injector more like a clamping action job. Also you have to use Feathers only. So this $10.49 old school with Noxzema works for me.

slantman - I think you will find yourself using that Injector more than you first thought. I have settled into a rotation primarily of my Slant, and my Injector.
I think the older type Injectors, while quite aggressive, don't get the props they deserve...

Thanks, I used an injector years ago and always liked the mechanics of loading and unloading of the blade. I realize now they give great shaves.
I used an old Schick Eversharp for years. Now I use it occasionally, the reason not more is the cost of the blades. But it is pleasing that it shave so nicely. Aggressive without being nasty about it.
I sport a truly beautiful goatee 
rolleyes and I used to occassionally reach for the Atra eek for trimming as it is very easy to 'drive' in the hard to reach spots. It used to bug me using the stupid thing though.
Well, enter stage right - the Schick Injector (32 model E canadian - schick blades)!!!! Yeahhhhhhhh! It worx really great for those times I need a good sharp trim around the goat or close in to the nose above the stache. Especially if you are using a big, bulky Gillette or similar. And, this is still a 70+ year old vintage razor, so I don't feel like I am 'cheating'.
I always have one loaded and ready to go in my den lineup. (Just rinse in alcohol after each use and your blade will last a heck of a long time for trimming.)
