Just the other day I snagged this baby up off the "Bay", it set me back all of five buckaroos. Now I really only wanted the case but the razor was what was being offered. The guy said that it was a G4 but when I got it it didn't look like the G4 I already owned, and that one was positively identified the individual from amongst us that gifted it to me. Aside from looking different this guy is much more aggressive than the G4 I have. This was learnt the hard way, the morning after I got it I foolishly grabbed it to perform an insta-shave (you know the kind, you have 10 minutes to get out the door but you just have to shave) splash on some water lather up and go to town. Well wrong answer, I look like I went too a butcher instead of a barber! I sliced a bit of my chin and had nicks a-plenty. Lesson learned! Never shave in haste with an unfamiliar razor. Anyway, could one of you that really knows these injectors properly identify this bad boy for me? Like I said it doesn't look like the G4, it also sits lower when next to the G4 (the G4 is too high to fit in the case and the same goes for the injector key tool when placed in the case). Also on the underside it says "Patent No. 1086087 others pending." Here are the pictures: Thanks, in advance, Joe

That is an E. One of my favorites. They do tend to feel more aggressive then a G. Might be a E2. Can not see the guard bar good enough to tell. Super snag for a saw buck!

TobyC , I know that page. I am confused by his descriptions, especially since how he discribed the G4 doesn't exactly fit with how mine looks. I guess it isn't an exact science! @wchnu if it helps the guard is smooth.

It looks like an E2 with a fixed spring to me.

Well, thanks guys for all the help I feel pretty confident that you guys know the deal with these razors so an E2 is what I have. So now that I know for sure talking about them will be easier since I can say "oh yes my G4 performed well after a nice shower and a leisurely shave". Or something like this, "In a pinch my Schick E2 did the trick, I got a BBS and a raise!"
So we're on our way!

Your unmentionables are going to start collecting dust. Wait until you try the 1912!!

Sehr gut mein Herr! Ich bin so stolz auf dich. Alternately: Очень хорошо, мой Господь Я так горжусь тобой
