Schick proline B-20

I received my Shick Proline b 20s from Rakuten earlier this week, I bought one pack to avoid customs. They are nicer than the Personnas I've been using and cheaper...

I would appreciate greatly a SxS test against the more common Chinese Schick one if possible, kind sir. ;)

Though I suspect customs would make sure that wasn't true if I bought in bulk. I transferred one over to my Personna dispenser using a small screwdriver as described above without incident. I'll certainly be buying more. I may risk 2 packs next time.
I ordered two packs recently without any problems from customs. Pretty quick delivery too. So far great shaves.

Same here, I have ordered before as well, just kept to two packs and no charges and surprisingly quick delivery each time.

Now if only they did the Schick twin blades with the cheaper postage options.

I can't use multi blade razors, that's what started me off with all this in the first place.
 
I had to try these so I bought a pack from Connaught. Their service is amazing nowadays, by the way. Stuck one in my mk 2 Supply. Wow! Smooooth! So I had to order some more and some of the Prolines that fit AC's. And Connaught excelled themselves on delivery speed so I shall be trying these tomorrow.

I dont know how long they last but I have had two of the best, smoothest shaves

+ 1 for the Stirling customer service you get from Connaught Shaving, a vast range of stock and super speedy dispatch every time. 10/10. P.
 
So, I forced myself to put aside the Supply Injectors in order to try the B30 blades. I chose the black Ali Hawk. The first pass was SHARP but I did not feel the smoothness I felt from the injector. That was worrying but I pressed on and the smoothness was certainly evident on the 2nd and 3rd pass. Maybe the blade just needed a little wearing in. Don't know. But both of these blades are to be treasured. I shall try them out in the heavier SE's in due course but I am completely converted.

And thanks to Connaught for their very fast service.

The P fits the large AC/SE Razors, the B fits Injectors and the Supply SE.
 
Well, yours truly was gifted some of these injector blades and used one in a Schick I 2 razor. My one shave opinion is that it is an excellent blade and most importantly I rate it SO FAR as being slightly smoother than a "Chick", but as sharp as a modern Personna. I want to try it later in my Schick adjustable, but is loaded with a NOS Gillette blade that I don't want to sacrifice via early removal. More feedback to follow.
 
OK I cracked and did some careful blade extraction and now have the once used Proline in the adjustable to really "wring" it out. I have found that any injector blade will work to its top level in this model.
 
Update: I used this blade today in the Schick adjustable with Tabac soap & I am a Doubting Thomas no more! Simply fantastic! All the qualities of my NOS favorite the Gillette Plat Plus injector blade. I need more of these for sure. Thanks to Blademonkey for the gift.
 
I have had five simply "storybook" shaves with this blade in my adjustable with no end in sight so far. :)

I simply have to find an inside source for a bulk buy as none of that silly VAT BS where I live. :p
