riverrun said:Hi Billy,
I know. I have quite a few NOS blades. TwinJector and Personna 74 incoming, but no Platinum yet. Most sellers are from the US with ridiculous P&P. Why are currently most European sellers from Bulgaria? Any experience anyone? Got some great NOS blades from Greece a short while ago. Still a far cry from the cost of - say - Voskhod DE blades from Russia. One of the reasons I stared this whole DE/SE malarky was that I considered cartridge blades too expensive. Go figure.

Fergiebilly said:The Blades that are sold from Amazon are Indeed the Chinese Schick Injector Blades.....
They come through some subsidiary company that Amazon is using.......They are ordered from the USA on an order to order basis.......You will get them at your door posted directly from the USA....They can take a couple or more weeks to arrive......I have seen one or two places selling them in the UK, but they are being imported by the same subsidiary company which I cant recall......:icon_razz:.

Hi there,
If you like, I can send out a 7 pack of Chinese blades and one 7 pack of the vintage US made Schick version for $20 shipped from Chicago.
Use the pm feature if interested and no problem if you wanna skip it.

For me Chicks in a Schick type G; is my favourite injector shave comboHi Paul
I just had my first shave with one of those Chinese Schick Blades from Amazon in a Type G.....:icon_rolleyes:.... I presented the blade with a good two days even brisk growth of whiskers......
Well........What can I say ?......For me, they certainly feel a lot different from the Personnas.....Night and day......At first I thought the G Type had a silencer on the end of it as the there was wasn't a lot of audible feed back as I am used to hearing with a Personna Blade.......:huh:
The G Type felt more like a very mild razor on silent mode until my fourth pass against the grain..... But here's the paradox.......:huh:....I found this blade to be deceptively sharp, very smooth, efficient and forgiving .....:icon_razz:
I have heard Martin talking about the difference that different blade combination's have on the shaving quality of a Schick Injector.........Well, he's absolutely on the case...:icon_rolleyes:
The more that I experiment with different blade combinations and Shimming GEM Blades in Older SE's to replicate older stropping blades, I becoming more convinced that a loud audible feed back is not necessarily a good measure of the efficiency of a blade.......
For me anyway , it will take a more than a moment to get used to the Chinese Schick Injector Blades because they just feel so different .......:huh:...
For a blade that felt as if it was almost doing nothing it offered me an incredibly smooth all over BBS irritation free shave......:icon_razz:.
