Loading An "Injector" Razor

[presbyterosBassI]

I wish I knew where my injector razor was. It was free when you bought blades, and had a fourspeed gearshift knob on the end. It was wicked cool when I was 15.

razor rape!

[powermugu]

Haha! Thanks!

[mst3kanita]

This looks so dangerous to me.

[carcano38]

Just couldn't watch it all.

[kalhuaNG]

When you pushed the new blade into the razor, there was a sharp pain in my left-hand middle finger! O_O;

[wcropp1]

By the grace of God, my parents happened to leave their pair of Injectors lying around for the past 25 years. I believe my dad uses a Sensor now despite my discouraging it? I suppose old habits die hard. Anyway, they only had one half-used case of blades left, which were all in usable condition. However, not being able to find any more, I've been "forced" to order a new Merkur, being unable to find any other used DE razors anywhere. I hate not being able to use these other two razors, though.

[axcfds]

Thanks for all these videos, the internet has been blessed by you presence, and I LOL'd at how you made the razor "walk" onto the screen.

[roadyrider]

They work great! Better than that multi-blade garbage that they're making now. I've had, and used mine for about 35 years and I just recently bought another one on eBay for my son. These are also the best razors for trimming a beard. the only problem now is trying to find blades for it. Schick and Gillette stopped making them because they can make so much more money on the multi-blades.

I've just noticed, isn't that one of the "O" type injectors only released in Japan? How did you get that? You're very lucky to find one.

[mantic59]

@MikeRyu Its actually an O-type "clone" that was available from nationwidecampus(dot)com a few years ago for a limited time.

[MikeRyu]

@mantic59 Oh one of those. Weren't they absolutely horrid?

[mantic59]

@MikeRyu they had a bad reputation but mine seems to work fine.

I'm 56 and this was the first razor I bought myself at 17 when I went into the army. It really took thinking about how to shave with it because it's a different shave than a DE razor. It's more like a straight razor in a safety razor. Once I figured out that you don't have to press and you do a double or "four way shave" (google it) I never went back to the DE razor. This razor still gives me the best shave I've ever had. The one I have now I bought in 1980. The blades are still cheap.

[roadyrider]

@x101x23 I'm 55 and I've had mine since I can remember also. I'd like to know where you are finding injector blades? Can they be ordered from Japan? I was finding them at Rite-Aid Drugs but I think they stopped carrying them and I don't want to pay $10 for a 7-pack on eBay for them. Thanks

[wabankik]

...Quite Retro!...

[PublicEnemydX]

Mantic59, are these razors just as good as a single blade? cause if they are, ill just get this instead. Ive read places that claim they are the same, cause its the same concept, but your a pro, so what do you say?

[mantic59]

PublicEnemydX- generally they are just as good as a DE razor and blade but they are more difficult to find.

[walkerdav2003]

where can i get one of those razors? the guys on shavemyface say its perfect for a beginner

[mantic59]

walkerdav2003- Unfortunately you're going to have to look at flea markets or antique shops (or ebay). I know of no source that are making "new" Injectors at the moment.

[bonescrub]

OMG where was the NSFW warning!!!

[SatanicCod]

This is so Porn-Tastic I can't believe it!

:D

[kajjaznam]

What's with the porn music:D

Just kidding, I always wanted to see how injectors work... Nice!

[brianthelifeof]

When I was Four, Dad left the injector on the sink. holding it with both My little hands, I advanced a new blade across the pad of my left thumb! Memories don't come cheep.

[Cybrok]

That was almost erotic :p

[Hadra568]

Was that the old blade that went flying? Yikes!

[SgtPnkks]

@Hadra568

yeah usually one would position the other side of the razor over a blade bank/vault or something

my grandpa used an injector (type F i believe) and ejected his old blades into a little carboard box and kept them in his tackle box to cut fishing line with

[BigMilan]

hahaha favourited!!!

[drjonez]

Haha, cute video. You need to do something similar, but put Monty Python voices to the various pieces of equipment ;)

[josefiSnch]

id cut my self with that

[nothanks0987]

Cute little vid. I've watched them all and haven't gotten around to thanking you, yet, so, thank you.

I've been using a Schick injector for nearly twenty years. Since your videos, I've gotten rid of the can of gel and moved to a brush and cream, and am enjoying them immensely. The question I've always had is, "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?" Oops. Wrong question.

How many shaves will a blade be good for? I shave about twice a week.

Thanks, again.

[mantic59]

There are a lot of variables (brand of blade, the type of skin and beard, etc.) but a rough rule-of-thumb is about 5 shaves. I go a week then change blades routinely.

[henriquemaia]

:D It's very nice. I have to try one of those (I guess it's not very easy to find them here in Portugal).
