The Dutch ones are Fergiebillie's favorites. Jack the price up triple & sell them to him.

They are similar in feel to the old Wizamet (Polsilver brown box) DE blades. Schick blades of the late 60's to early 70's were outstanding.

As well, 300+ blades are far too many for one old English fart.

Ok .......... Got my NOS Dutch Schick blades today ...... all 340 of them

I took the one 5 pack out that looked as though someone had opened it to see what they were and loaded a fresh blade into my HydroMagic. The blade didn't want to slide out at first, but a little press on the worktop on the back of the injector unbound it in short order.

I know you said these were smooth, Billy ........ but feck me, mate ..... the difference between these and the Personnas is night and day. These remind me of the Gillette 7o'clock blacks ..... just had a lovely three pass shave with my first one.

Have to get some platinums now ......... see what the fuss is about

My second shaving experience with the Chinese Schick Injector Blade.......:s

Two days have passed since my first shave with the Chinese Schick Blades in a Schick Type G......Tonight I decided to try them in a Canadian E Type which is by far my most aggressive Schick Injector.......:icon_rolleyes:

I was planning to have my usual two passes and wee touch up with the Canadian Type E, but I changed my mind and decided to have a three passer after I felt how well the razor was behaving compared to my experience's with Personns Blades ....

This time, from the first pass, I was experiencing a good amount of audible feed back unlike the my last shave with the G Type.....The Canadian E Type has a bigger gap between the comb and the blade than any of the USA made Type Es' and it was the all familiar sound of "Buttering Toast" that we are all familiar with and love to hear....:heart:

However , the characteristics of the Canadian E Type had changed, somewhat, from the last time I used it with a Personna Blade.......This time the Canadian E Type was feeling a lot less dangerous and more forgiving........ I was experiencing a new found freedom of expression with the Canadian E Type....... I instantly felt that I could do no wrong .....:icon_rolleyes:.

Here again, I was getting the message that the Chinese Schick Blades just feel so different to Personna Blades........

What more can I say about them really other than I am finding them to be so different .......I wouldn't suggest for a moment that the end result is any better or worse with the Chinese Injector Blades, but for me the shaving experience with both the Type G and Canadian Type E is just so different........

These are a lot more expensive than Personna blades, but for me, they are worth every extra penny ......JUST TO FEEL THE DIFFFERNCE ........:icon_razz:

There's nothing wrong with the Persona's, but some people are of the opinion that vintage blades are the Dogs B.......cks and the Dutch made Schick Blades are the most efficient injector blades ever made........I was really impressed with the USA Schick Injector Blades and also found them to be considerably sharper.......I find that they really smooth out a shave with the G Types in particular.......I personally find that the E Types are more dangerous for sure, but for me they are smoother than the G Types......

I still haven't received my Chinese Schick Blades from Amazon......Good job my life's not depending on them....MMMMmmmmm..

Always good to experiment

Enjoy :icon_razz:
