I shaved with one of those for years - excellent bit of kit and well worth hanging on to.

+1 on that. I have one and it gives a very nice shave. Bit of a technique change from a DE, but easy enough to pick up.
Grab the blade HM suggested and give it a whirl!

+ i on the very nice shave they give. Only minor drawback is the short length of the blade I find. To load the blade just slide the metal spur on the magazine into the slot on the rear of the shaving head and use the slide on the blade holder to insert the blade. Be careful though, they started me on the slippery path to Single Edge shaving.

(& if the handle is one of the "Bakelite" types & is slightly soiled I forget who it was on here who was good enough to recommend the use of smooth Peanut butter to clean it with. Works a treat).

I've been keeping an eye out for one of these, the schick adjustable, not been willing to pay the eBay prices.

Blades, Schick branded, can also be had from here http://www.safetyrazors.co.uk/, but obviously not at the time of writing.

I have 2 Injectors. A Type 'J' and a Type 'M' adjustable. Very different beasts. The general rule with Injectors is that the older they are, the more aggressive they are.

Some good Injector info here http://www.safetyrazors.net/schick/schicktech.htm

I got lucky on eBay (you don't hear that too often, these days), and although the seller said that he was located in the UK, it actually came from France.

Do I want one of these? What's a reasonable price to pay for a boxed one?

Cheers,
