Cheaper to get a Schick on the bay. For someone who just wants to try it.
I do do want to eventually get one of those though. And still need to get some twin blades as well.
Cadre, I am deeply ashamed. I have shamelessly deceived you all, and unfortunately, you all bought it. The "friend" for whom I asked questions was really...me. I don't know what drove me to such a nefarious scheme; perhaps my desire to be minimalist. I had avoided injectors all these years because I had no desire to go through the process of trying new blades to find my favorite, plus I'm cheap and the blades are not. Regardless of my excuse, I am quite contrite. Will you ever trust me again?
As best I can determine, it's a type G from the 1940s, though I'm not positive.

Absolutely NOT............by the way, nice razor. I like the color.
You’re among The Cadre..... There is no need to hide your intentions. You should know by now that we support any and all acquisitions!
Nice pick up! Looks to be a G5 to me. 40s-50s.
And deep down, we knew it was for you anyway. We figured you didn’t have any “friends”!

You know me too well.
I like the color, too. That's why I bought it.
Thank you. I'm up to five razors (six, if you count a '50s Flare I'm saving to PIF someday - I've never used it).
You should try it!
I've used one before. Good shavers.
So, I Flitzed and cleaned it, using it for the first time today. Wow, what a great shave! Looking forward to tomorrow.
Should I expect about the same blade life out of injectors that I get from DE?

i am new to them myself but think a little more, similar to Artist Club blades. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
They are thicker, and more sturdy than DE blades, and should therefore last longer.
I get an average of 15 shaves from a "Chick" injector blade. (Chinese made Schick injector blade). My tool of choice for whisker removal.

Thanks you, gentlemen. My Schick blades don't say Made in China, so I guess they're not. I'll just see how far they'll go.
If you just purchased them, pretty sure they are made in China. I think that is the only place Schick's are still made.

After decades of using DEs and years of using straights, I picked up an Injector near the end of 2014 for the first time. 2015/16/17 saw my injector usage at about 1/3 or just a bit more as I made a conscious effort to also use my straights, DEs, and yes, even my carts. At the end of 2017, I decided to use an injector for the entire year, and did so without even one yearning for a day with another of my razor types.
Yup, I'm firmly in the Injector camp (love my I2) and no longer even own a DE at all.
