Just looked at mine and none are all metal. Others with far more experience on the subject will hopefully reply.

I know of one. I will see if i can find the info on it. It would be extremely rare to find and i best would start around 200 bucks.

1935 to 1936...
Gold plated metal with diamond profile handle that opens like scissors to allow cleaning head and blade. Guard with random striations.

Found that wedge, safety razor blade that was missing among the 'decor' so I'm glad it didn't get mixed in with stuff that was thrown away.

That's just inflation.

Thinking of trying a Schick injector. Any suggestions where to start? Are old blades still usable? Ive got some old injector blades. Wasn't sure if the edges would still be that good or not.
Are any of them more aggressive? Someone told me all the settings on the adjustable Schick was still pretty mild to them.

Type M Adjustable is one any Schick user should have.
The L and J models are reasonably found on eBay and are a bit mild.
Type E is more aggressive.
It seems that the closer to the A model you get the more aggressive the razor is. Some would argue this.

Here is a site that shows all the different models and a little bit about them.
Schick Injector Razors

The all-metal ones are extremely hard to find but they would be the D and F models.

Most of these Schick razors can be found for a low cost so find a few and give them a try. eBay, garage sales, antique store, Estate sales. They are easy to learn. As far as old blades... I'd not use an old blade but if it is still in good shape and not rusted on the edge I guess it would be useable. But why when you can buy a new injector of blades for cheap on eBay, Amazon, or your local drug store.

The hollow ground blade used in the old Heljestrand Safety razor is very difficult to find as is the blade for the Henckels safety razor. A similar blade for a Kampfe Star safety razor is also difficult to find. Guard it well.


Schick razor..... I purchased new blades for mine just to make sure I have a good shave.

Schick Type F. And it seems to be one of the sought after variations.

Found that wedge blade! One of the Heljestrand blades has a chip, but I have the whole set back together, fortunately.
