I have many Injectors, The type E2, F, A, B, and C are missing.... I did not have much interest in the repeaters, but that has changed and I have been searching.. I really want the open comb type C but I have not found one fairly priced yet... I did just win a Schick type B2 from flee bay, it should arrive by the weekend. the case and razor look near mint! even has the booklet and outer box, the outer is worn but hell it's 90 years old. I guess they go for 80 to as high as 125 for a near mint B2.. I paid around 80, I normally don't care for mint or NOS but these repeaters are just a fascinating tool! I will post pics when it arrives. Now I still want to clean it, I won't dare use flitz or mr. metal. I used flit's on a Schick golden 500 that was near mint and rubbed off the gold on the cap, so I am scared of rubbing off the finish, so dawn dish soap should be good. so any here have thought's on the type B? Is it more aggressive than the type E or G?

I enjoy my two repeaters. They are not more aggressive than other injectors, just different. Their head design is similar to the Type H, but you can't use the injector key, you'll have to load the blade manually. I've heard stories of modern blades jamming in the magazine. The angle is almost 90°, handle nearly straight out. But it's s decent shave and, yes, they're really cool. Enjoy!

Yes, The A is crazy cool.. round handle, golden head...the grand daddy of em all...I have read of modern blades jammin, the one I have coming looks unused, so I will be careful. but, I have found when I read forum comments that some "over think" the process. I agree with jammin issue, I read other "stuff" that made my head dizzy... I am sure Col. Schick made something that is user friendly. :-) I plan on using the hussy tonight..get in the groove..

I only have had personal experience with the type C3... Mine, I drop 1 blade in the magazine...pop it in it's place. Close the door, swivel the head, rack the slide, reswivel the head back and shave. Mine loads blades like a champ, aslong as I don't carry 20 blades in the handle. But I do recommend a video on assembly/disassembly....because if a blade jams, you simply diassemble to unjam. No mystery, and assembly is easy....If you know how. If your B is silver, it might be a Sterling onew....Many were....It it is, it is solid silver and you don't have to worry too much about metal polish!

I have a gold one coming... If gold, then stick with Scrubbing Bubbles........and maybe whittening tooth paste and a soft nylon tooth brush if it really needs some heavy cleaning....

I have a gold B and a silver B. The silver was black, but I cleaned it with the baking soda - foil -boiling water technique and now it's shiny. You mean it's sterling?

You sir are a lucky man....Thats a beautiful spread of C3 photos you have there.....and very informative....You should post those on a thread dedicated to the "Schick Simplified Automatic Repeater" in the Schick Forum. Many future repeater lovers could certainly benifit from it. Very nicely done. This is my injector love aswell:
