Yes, you are quite correct, you can find user grade 1912s for a tenner, a great price to dip your toe into SE shaving.

Thanks for all the responses, alot of reading to do. Appreciate all the information being provded here
I have a US made 1912 linked by @Boycie83 a bit earlier, some blades are on order from Connaught to go with it.
I quite fancy a UK 1912 and a Schick injector to make a nice little group of three SE to give a try out

Not sure if it's still available but @Jpshaver had a Schick adjustable for sale here along with some blades:

Hold out for a British 1912. Better plating. Better QC. Better shave. Experience across a collection of over 100 of them and several years shaving.

Sadly the schick is sold. I do have the Oneblade core which is a cheap alternative, albeit with the feather SE blades
Yes. But: You would need an empty injector magazine (with a metal finger) to transfer the blades to and inject them from there.
It sounds like a big kerfuffle, but it is rather straightforward.
The above-mentioned Schick comes with three twin blades (the best!) in just such a magazine.
Win-win... just saying.

After a week of shaving with the 1912 one thing I am impressed by is blade longevity, and sticking to one blade has made a nice change. Usually with DE 3 shaves and it's finished. 5th on on the persona GEM and still good, admittedly technique may be improving... What sort of average are you seeing out of a blade?

1 week on DE (Gillette India)
2 weeks on GEM (Personna)
3 weeks on AC (Kai Titan)
4 weeks on AC guarded (Kai ProTouch)
