    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.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    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.
