Vintage injector razors.collectible? Valuable?

[JGKC9AYC]

I'm looking at an older Schick injector razor. It's either a Type E or G, but i'm not for sure.
In either case, do these have any value like the vintage DE razors?
I've read that they give quite good shaves, but it's a little different handling than a DE.
Just curious if it's worth trying or not.
Thanks.

They do not have much collectible value, about like a Gillette Tech with no box.

Definitely worth trying. It should be the best $15 dollars you ever spend.

I would becomment the G over the E, as the E is very aggressive. However, if you shave with SLOW movements the E shaves similarly to the G.[

Ok. Thanks for the info.

Injector razors are fantastic shavers, yet have comparatively low collector value. This equals a fantastic value! Just make sure the "stops" that contact the business end of the razor blade are intact and get some good blades. I'll save you some time by saying to just jump right in and order the Schick "Chinese" blades that are on Amazon -- best out there by far. Also, I've gotten up to 14 shaves from one blade easily. Great razor! My fav is the Schick Adjustable. Have fun!

Schicks and Gems do not seem to increase in value like the more expensive Gillettes. The more important thing is to collect what you like.

Your local Pick-N-Save could have them as well. That's where I picked my blades up.
