I'm kind of in the same boat. I love my injectors, but the blades I've tried just don't seem as smooth as I remember (I used an injector exclusively throughout the 70s). For me, the drugstore blades pull. I've never tried the Pellas. I tried the Chinese Schicks a couple of years ago and can't remember if I liked them. If I found a blade that was smooth I'd use the injectors more, right now they are collecting dust.

Get the China Schicks -- you'll love 'em. Best injector blade out there!

Hello all, I've tried the Ted Pella, Personna, and the Schick (Chinese). Personally, if I couldn't use the Schicks I wouldn't use an injector razor. That's how much I like 'em. I'll be glad to PIF the Pellas and whatever I have left of the Personnas if anyone wants 'em. John John, I'll take the Pellas. Will send a PM with my addy to you.

Tom (HT) was saying in another thread that he is able to buy the Chinese Schicks locally. I've looked and looked and can't find them anywhere where I'm at. Will need to order on line. The ones I am looking at come in a blister pack with orange backing and I think blue lettering (English and French). The dispenser looks to be brushed metal, 7 blades. Does this sound like the right one?

Alan, here's what I get, they cost $5 and some change around here. Sounds like you have the same ones.

Those are the ones! Thanks Tom. I'll order some today. Like I said before, the only thing that has kept me from using the injector has been the lack of blades that I like.

Well, I finally got a pack of the Chinese Schicks Tom has pictured above. Since nobody has them local I had to get them on-line for $4.99 plus shipping. For me they are much smoother than the ASR rebrands. Not quite as smooth as I remember the Schicks of years ago being but still quite nice. I really, really like how easy they load. The re-brands in the plastic blade holder are a pain. These things slide in like silk! I will be using the one injector I have left more often now.

Glad they're working for you Alan. Hold onto the dispenser when it's empty, you can always reload it with Personna blades if you ever have any to use up.

If loading an empty injector cartridge can you get more than 7 in one? I think they initially help up to 20 but wasn't sure if they put some kind of stop in there to prevent more than 7. I have a few 7 injector cartridges & it'd be nice to consolidate them a bit.

I dug a bunch of used injector blades out of my dead blade box, and yeah that was as much fun as it sounds, and started putting them in a Schick 7 blade dispenser. I stopped at 20, probably could've squeezed a couple more in if I tried but figured since I made it that far without any injuries it was a good time to stop.
So, yes, it will definitely hold more than 7.
