The razor punches way above its weight. 

Seriously, I almost didn’t buy one and then the sale came around, and I’m glad I took the plunge.  

It’s really efficient and not irritating for my sensitive skin.  4 shaves in and I’m blown away, lasting BBS shaves, no irritation, and it’s just a great shaver.  

I would say it the biggest surprise I have had in years.  How on Earth haven’t there been more reviews of this razor, it is off the charts price to performance ratio at $120.

It’s a catch, but I won’t be releasing it.

When you told me about this razor I was honestly sceptical but I knew you had just acquired a vintage Schick Type M Adjustable and also knew you had some good hardware at home and when you mentioned how much you liked it and said it blew the Type M away in all areas of performance, well that statement got my attention as I enjoy my M once in a while for a quick Shower shave. So when I saw the sale on Memorial Day I'm like ok I'm going to see what Mike is all excited about.. well I'm now a believer and I agree I can't believe this razor hasn't gotten more attention.

I have to say thanks for enabling me on this one my friend. Good call.

Injector Blades but you hand load instead of injecting them.

Do you have a link? Thanks!

A link for which injector blade? Any injector blades would work. Many like the Chinese Schick blades in the yellow package or the Schick proline b20's or vintage injector blades of eBay.

I like Vintage like these....Keep in mind the Twins don't fit this razor.

I really think for what it’s worth, if it was in Titanium, I would sell off all of my razors but 2 and be done. I really like injector blades compared to AC blades.  

For me, it’s really a great razor that only lowering the weight could improve.

I’ve found yellow and b20’s do very well in it. Haven’t tried any vintage but I have some here, will get to them sooner or later.

I’m going on 10 hrs and not much as changed as far as beard growth! Again I’m impressed. I can’t wait to shave again on Thursday and I’m going to be more aggressive in my technique and see what happens.

keto I think you’ll be glad you diluted your PayPal account Lol

Do you folks like this injector better than the Asylum RX AC razor? The design looks very similar.
