What's new

the razor that made me break my golden rule

So yeah, gold razors.. not for me. I can appreciate some of the oldies in their neat cases, looking like they're ready to shave some high-class dude wearing a monogrammed bath robe or somethin', but they're just not my style. After shaving with an Injector that was a throw-in with another purchase (thanks, Jeff!), I decided I needed another.. a really clean one. And, if it could be a Hydro-magic, well that takes care of that curiosity, too. I always seem to be late on the Injectors that show up on the BST, but this time I was right on time.. from the same person who gave me the first one, even (thanks again, Jeff!).. anyway, I didn't realize it was gold until I opened the box.. dang it! Then I shaved with this thing last night using a Schick (yellow pack) blade, and wow! I love this thing! Do I wish it were chrome? Sure. Will I ditch this because it's gold? Heck no! ..unless someone wants to trade me for an equally clean chrome version.

I think these Injectors are insanely awesome shavers.. I said it after my first shave with one, but I really do understand the "feels like cheating" comment I've read more than a few times. Now I feel like I should stock up on blades while they're available.. I guess it's time to try the stainless blades from Connaught.. if they're as good as the coated SEs I bought from them, I'll be happy. I like the Schick blades, but they're considerably more expensive than the others, from what I've seen.

If it helps, you can always pretend it's brass or something (because it is underneath that gold.)

Beautiful razor.
 
It shaves so well, I actually kinda like the gold now.. it definitely stands out from all my others. I love the handle on this thing, too.. unique shape that feels great in the hand.
 
Not surprised you're enjoying it...
They look really nice gold,they're about the only gold razors I like.

Connaught Shaving will take good care of you,I purchased 200 Personna PTFE Injector Blades from them,great blades and I haven't had any trouble with the plastic injector.

This chrome I2H-M is my go to razor:

OK, that chrome hydro-magic is now at the top on my list.. man, that looks good! I think I'll place the connaught order next paycheck.. took your recommendation on the SE blades from them and I've been real happy with those.
 
For some reason the Gold is more common than the chrome in this model.

I bought a gold one still in the blister packaging and have been enjoying being the first owner of it. :001_smile
