I bought one of those but when I tried to load it the safety bar dropped down and would not lock back into place with the blade in. I just picked up another and we'll see how that one works out. I also bought a PAL adjustable to add to my pile.Sunday shave,Feb 16th 2020- I like to use my Pal Injecto-matic every once in a while, two many injectors and not enough days. The Pal company spent well over 1 million dollars to develop this razor in the 1950's and they did a nice job for a injector IMO.

VERY Nice!!! Looks like you're "gonna need a bigger block" -- said like Roy Schneider in Jaws!
Yes, you are missing The Grip, the coolest L type.

I missing that one as well, and as a former Tennis player and a current Tennis fan, I am always on the look out for one. I want one that looks as nice as yours!!! Did it come that way, or did it require some "elbow grease" to get it into shape?

Some one must of been tinkering prior to you and maybe damaged something possibly, mine works well and was NOS. I think you will enjoy the shave if you do a 3 pass shave, I was doing 2 pass shaves and usually received DFS+ range'
It is a nice razor to hold and shave with IMO.
Have some great shaves!
The Grip was in pretty good shape when I got it, just a gentle scrubbing was needed. They show up every now and again.

I can't remember to be honest, I have bid on a couple last year 2019. I'm on a bit of sabbatical until Nov 2020 and will restock supplies and razors possibly.
One thing I like about the L series are the themes these guys & gals in marketing, must of had some good dreams making different themes up with go ahead from Management, also it must of been a great time for tooling up those different razor models for production also.
Have some great shaves!
I used an L1 as my only razor for many years so I have a soft spot for them. Now that I have tried most of the Schicks I don't think I could give any of them up.

Those wooden block razor stands, I have 5 now with different razors from different MFG's. Like the old saying goes"out of sight out of mind" so if they are displayed you will use them is my thought.
Have some great shaves!

I like that idea...A LOT!!! Of course if I display my full collection, the LOTH may well call me something worst than "Schickhead"
. I will be "borrowing" this idea...hopefully in the near future, thanks!
I’m LOVING my L types right now.

Flintstone65 - you’re making me blush with your single edge superhero comment. But... thnx!
And Guitarslinger - enjoy your L - I enjoy that one myself.

I have an E2, a G, a J and a K. They’re all wonderful razors. The E is the most aggressive but I get my best shave from the J. It’s Chicks all the way for me. Pellas shave like a piece of schick
They are all good. It's too hard for me to pick a favorite! Here is my J.

I know what you mean. I have a complicated formula where I try to determine some kind of relevant ranking. Even when I try to go "quantitative", I find myself putting my "qualitative" thumb on the scale, and in the end it becomes a "too close to call" kind of thing. I think I'll keep them all -- and maybe pick up a few more.....just for good measure!
I've got an E and two G's, one a G8 plus a J2, two L1's post 1972 and two M's. Just got some twin blades from Japan, took forever to get delivered and in the L1 they are fantastic. Will try soon in one of the M's. I find the Schick a good change from the DE's I usually shave with. Guess variety is the spice of life.
Let's see, I have one each of E2, E3, I and J. There is also a Canadian G with bad blade stops. Used the J this morning!
