The blade dispenser has the key. It will make no sense till you buy the blades and then it will be obvious. CVS and probably other drug stores have a generic injector blades thing for 5-10 bucks. Basically you jam the key where it says to, and then slide the blade in. Very cool.

Hmm..that might be a little tricky as I live in Sweden, and the nearest CVS is probably in Boston. Oh well I guess I can find it on the net. Thanx for the help.

LOL. You can get them on ebay easy. someone makes something they call schick injector razor blades that are all over ebay and they are supposed to be good. I think some are made in germany and some in china. A lot of talk about them on shavemyface.com in the safety razor forum.

What kind of injector? One of the old bakelite ones? I have one that gives me incredibly close shaves but I always have five or so cuts.

Well I checked it out and with shipping and everything it will cost more than the razor..didnt know it needed special razor blades. I dont know what material it is, probably bacelite. It's a pearl white handle and brass in a brown-red box. This is the one: Antik rakhyvel SCHICK Injector Razor på Tradera. Rakning |

Hope you found the blades. These razors are killer shavers.

Well, no I haven't ordered them. I thought I'd concentrate on my straight razor that I just got back well honed from you

Great Work btw

Here(Ebay link) are some of the blades in their dispenser. I don't know if this is a good deal or not (I haven;t bought these in a couple of decades) but it will give you an idea what to look for. Many drug stores over here still have them.

i had the exact same question when i bought one just like that at an antique shop. i actually just got some blades in the mail today from a generous forum member that only wanted the shipping cost though they aren't full. i can't wait to shave with it as i have heard good things.

Unfortunatley they don't ship to Sweden..Oh well I'll see what happens.
