@JIMBO1878 - Hello mate - I own a few Schicks - I'm very fond of them - in my opinion they are excellent razors - all were bought on this forum - on BST over the years - depending on which type you are after - have a look at this -

Three of the razors he had on offer that are marked as sold - I bought from @N_Architect recently - he is a gentleman to deal with - see what you think - I'd recommend him as a seller - assuming that you are in the UK - no postage hassles whatsoever - hope this helps - yours - I.
Is Ebay realistically the best/only place to buy a schick? Been itching to try one but the majority on Ebay are abroad and taking into account postage they look a bit expensive. Any tips on where to find one would be greatly appreciated.
Agreed, many are in boxes, or NOS, and prices are sky high especially if mailed from over the pond. Then of course UK Import Duty wants a piece of the action too. Although I was checking eBay for about three weeks before I found a listing that interested me. So long as you keep you eyes peeled, you'll spot an Schick Injector Razor without a box. Mine was really mucky, the seller may didn't want much for it, I made an offer slightly lower (below the UK Import Duty) and they accepted (which I thought was very kind). Just make sure you avoid razors with plate loss, oxidization, and rust. Though not impossible to re-plate if you need to (dependent on the razor), it'd be a pointless/expensive exercise if you then don't like shaving with it. So long as you're not adverse to cleaning, sanitizing, and polishing, there are deals to be had. Patience is definitely the key.Thanks for all the replies guys. I think you are right about having patience. The ones I've seen have all had their box so I think that's why the prices have been quite high. Got my eye on a couple at the moment so will see how they go.

Congrats! Its always nice to hear about a shaving success story. What injector blades are you using?
Cheers.
I bought some personna blades from connaught but not tried them yet. I have been using the pack of blades that came with the razor. My friends son is currently working in Japan so going to see if he can get hold of a stock of schick blades for me. Will just have to wait until he comes home.
