Great Catch..These Can Fetch Silly Money in the USA..These are Very Mild Indeed..Almost as Mild as the Gillette Trac 11 Injector..Which is the Mildest Injector on the Planet..
Very Similar Design..I Got Sent One to Try by a USA Friend Sometime Ago..You NEED a Twin Blade with this Feather Injector..No Bones about it..A Single Blade is Almost a Waste of Time in this Razor..
Its Needs a Sharp Twin Blade to Perform as Designed by the Makers..Like the Gillette..A Rough Idea of its Mildness Would be Summit Akin to the Schick Adjustable on its Number 1 or 2 Lower Setting..Give or Take..3 at the Very Most..

No..The Feather is Japanese..Same Mob that Makes Current Feather Razors & Blades..The Schick Type O is Schick Designed But was Marketed & Made in Japan by the Schick Company which was Sold Off to Pfizer Warner Lambert Company..

I have NOS Schick Twins, NOS Twinjector, the NOS Feather blades arriving with the razor and the current Japanese Schick Injector II blades. Would the current Injector II blades provide a good shave? I don't really want to use many of my "Museum" pieces .

The modern twin Schick injector blades will be fine. P.I have NOS Schick Twins, NOS Twinjector, the NOS Feather blades arriving with the razor and the current Japanese Schick Injector II blades. Would the current Injector II blades provide a good shave? I don't really want to use many of my "Museum" pieces

@Sabre - what P. said - and @Fergiebilly - the modern Japanese market twins are very good for me - used one last night in an O Type - I also use them in my Schick I1 - every bit the match of the vintage versions - which like you I own but prefer to use the ones I can replace easily - an exceptionally good blade - yours - I.

Single or double? With all due respect I cannot help but wonder if these are not simply rebranded "Chick" blades made in China or am I all wet here?

OK, they also sell a traditional single blade injector magazine that has identical packaging. Are we absolutely sure these are made in Japan as perhaps Japan does not have stringent "point of manuf." requirements on advertising? I just cannot see a huge demand for this among the Nipponese. As well, there is a Schick Proline B-20 injector blade. Are you absolutely sure these three (including "Chick") are not the same blade and that rebranding is involved? I am not convinced they are all different.
