Thread: Stanley razor blades

The Personna 74's are legendary, not made for a long time. When they show on EBay these days they end up going for $2 plus per blade, or more.

Modern Personna Injectors are just ok, and suffer from skeevy plastic injector bodies.

I haven't shaved with an injector since the original Schick back in the '70s. Liked them better than the Gillette DEs back then. I know Pella makes injector blades but not sure how good they are. I mostly use the straight nowadays. Only go to the DE if I'm late for church or something like that.

My feelings exactly. I realize that it's a great price, but it's why I haven't gotten around to trying the Ted Pellas yet. Being in my mid 50's, as often as one of my SEs come up in my rotation 200 is more than a lifetime supply!

In August 1969 the razor in me college footlocker was a Schick - but likely a yellow bakelite handled one from the 30's. I started shaving with what was possibly a Slim Gillette DE. Been trying to get the straights going, but when time is of the essence a Schick Type M adjustable is in permanent rotation.
