Very unique the J types are excellent shavers. Are you going to keep it in the package or do you intend to use it?

I should clarify ... they're just a couple of pictures I found, not a package I have bought.
I do have a J, which will be the one I use for next month's 12/05/1958 Schick 2911713 Patent anniversary.

I've been having problems with this injector. It has more blade exposure than my I1 but the shave is nowhere near as close. It seems like the angle is different and larger.

The J was my first injector (which I received along with my first Micromatic in a trade!) I remember how blown away I was by it's incredible fast efficiency and I've loved injectors ever since.
Does anybody here actually shave in the shower? I've shaved in the bath a few times. Doesn't James Bond shave in the bath with his Schick L-1 in Live And Let Die?

Greetings That's interesting, in theory they should shave the same as I am fairly sure (somewhere else my know different) that Schick continued with the same head on the J model as the I model only the handle and the way the head (frame) is attached to the handle varies. There was an interesting conversation on another forum recently regarding how the shave varied even between different razors of the same model. I guess that with any mass produced item tolerances could vary and at their height I suspect a new Schick was coming off the production line every few seconds! This could be a possible explanation. Regards Dick.

Greetings
I love the word Faucet (printed on the back of the Schick packet) when I first went to the USA many years ago this word really threw me. Although it is a perfectly proper legitimate English word it is never used this side of the Atlantic, tap is always used. I understand it was used in Britain in early Victorian times but it is a word we have lost with the passage of time, how curious!
Regards Dick.

Yes there's definitely a variation of aggression even within the same model. I have the "scarce type" Eversharp L and it is noticeably more aggressive than the J that I had. Perhaps it's a bit like the 1912s and there's actually much more variation than our standard typology takes account of.

I've acquired 2 other I1 razors. For a total of three. Two of them have black handles and chrome plating. Those have the lesser blade exposure. One of the I1's is gold with an off-white handle just like my two gold J-type's and they all have the greater blade exposure.

It is strange indeed. I have an I1 that I can't get a good shave out of no matter what I do. My I2, on the other hand, works very well. Gonna have to get another I1 and see how different it might be.

I too have found the L to be pleasantly more effective than the J.And the Eversharp to be the smoothest .I like the feel of the blade being there on the face. Perhaps this is why they went to the the bumps on the safety bar,to keep the blade from digging in, as I've read elsesewhere, although I don't kknow of anyone having this problem. Variations in top plate,safety bar and finish and condition........oh and all Hydromagics are not created equal either, but that'll be for another thread.

Here's a picture I took a couple of years ago of two J's that have an obvious difference, and I can tell a big difference in aggressiveness between them. The white handle J1 is noticeably more aggressive/efficient than the black handle J2. There seems to be a lot of variance in how these where made over the years.
