The third one is brand new (yes, a couple of years ago I located and new unused G1 at an old drug store). I just really like the way these old injectors shave. So much so that I sold all of my DE razors except one.

Hi there fellow Yankophile,
Now that is pretty funny....hope you don't mind me saying so. Using only two of the same razors in your rotation, with a spare one (smart, I'm a big fan of 'back ups' myself).
So may I ask why you rotate those? Do they shave the same or no? If it's the case that they are similar, I'd be interested in your answer. Oh yeah, might I ask what blade you load?
You know, back 4-5 years ago, the 'hot' G type was the #66. Blue handle version on a one timer for I forget which year,,,,1949 maybe. Supposed to shave better than the other models for some reason. I tried that one, and a few other various colored handled versions, and every one was a little bloodsucking vampire razor to me. Same thing with the E type of course.
I've said this before to other members, that I'm somewhat envious you can use that injector as well as you do. Especially using yours as a go to razor....pretty amazing. I know other people who love those things, but I just can't understand that. You're one of the lucky ones I guess.

*Cough*, not to enable you, but I'd bet you would really enjoy using an open comb DE razor. Actually though, you had some DE types and sold em off. Were there some open comb types in that group?

Howdeee GD (said in my best J.R. Ewing voice),
Now thet thar is the hot injector/blade combo. Best of both worlds collide to explode in shaving wonderfulness. Heh, I noticed you still have some old Wars in your arsenal.......got a liitle bit left myself. Man, you musta started with this 'hobby' a while back I'd guess.
I have 4 blades left in my Personna74 dispenser, and will break one out when the call is just too strong.
Good call on that pic,
Martin

What's doin fellow Yankophile,
How about some vague and probably very unreliable recollections about that injector......sound good? Been too many years since I knew all that various injector info, and it looks like it mighta all flown the old cranial coop.
I think this one's got an unusual head and also the razor weighs a good bit. Never seen one in the wild that I can remember, but I know they're a highly desireable model that doesn't show up for sale very often in any condition. I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff to read about, seeing as how different it is from the other types.
There you go, I'm sure at least part of the post may be correct.

Johnus said:Yes, the model D on the chart is the I that I saw. Interesting that it was the 1st Schick model.
Well gentlemen while I was out being "loving husband and father" I lost the bid on the "D". 29.99US. May be next time-(
