I don't specifically know of any other Injector blades available without the key. Although I'm sure there are for medical and scientific purposes. And some people do use scientific blades for shaving. I haven't tried any. The Schick E and G are the ones I've seen in antique stores most. The G being the one I see most. Many of the Gs I see have cracked handles but are very affordable. I would be willing to work with you on making a custom handle for it.
I have some of the Personna blades from Connaught and like them better than Chinese Schicks.
Thanks for the great advice, GAW9576!
Oopsie...I meant thanks for the advice, Dave in KY! I'm going to blame that mistake on all this craziness going on with the site right now!

An easy three pass shave. Not sure why, but this razor gave me maybe my smoothest shave yet. I got through two passes and it was going so well I said why not one more. The Micromatic is my closest shaver, but it can be irritating.
Dreary, rainy fall weather here in Georgia today. Looks like it will be leave raking time soon!

Sure thing I am glad the advice you credited me with that Dave gave you helped. And that's a great looking razor. I love my Baton handles.

Good to see you on the forum this evening. I'm watching the football game and checking TOST now and again and it felt like a ghost town. I wonder if folks are not as active due to the issues with posting?

Razor: Kenyon/Unmentionable
Blade: sChick Injector
Brush: Trotter Handcraft Lake of Fire/Timberwolf
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: CHH Tobacco
Fragrance: John Varvatos Dark Rebel
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,087
Work accomplished and new water heater installed yesterday for my parents. Nice shave this morning and while the Fat is slick and leaves the face feeling GREAT I just don't love it or reach for it much. On the fence with it on whether to keep it around as I reduce inventory. It's not the soap, it's me.............sounds like an imminent breakup. 1st pass with the Unmentionable re-scaled just because I had an itch to scratch with it and 2 passes with the Kenyon. Have a great day Folks !
