Breaking News RE: Shick Injectors.... back in production....

[joel]

Fellas,
Jay the president of the nowoncampus (or whatever) company just called me, and I had a chit chat with him... and I've got some superb news... they purchased the rights to manufacture the Shick injector, and shick adjustable injector, and are going to be re-introducing the shick injector (manufactured by the same company and tested/certified by Shick) brand spankin' new - from $15 for the standard model to $18 to the fully loaded adjustable. Before you fellas soil yourself to run in line to get one of the few available... calm down... there won't be "a few" available - they are re-manufacturing them by the double digit THOUSANDS - so EVERYONE will be able to purchase as many as they so desire. They will be available for sale in aprox 4 weeks, and in about 2 weeks or so - Jay will send me one to test/review and talk to you guys about - so you know you aren't buying a possible "flop."

Finally.... a NEW adjustable injector, at a reasonable price - no more of that $100+ stuff on ebay. Now - a reliable source for the razor - and legit shick injector blades!

Hip hip.... horay!

[mrob]

What great news! The injector is the one razor that I've been wanting to purchase, and now it will be a no-brainer.

Thanks for the good news, Joel!

[Jonnybc]

Excellent news, I've never tried an injector and would like to!

I hope they're sold in England though, I'd quite like a Feather Razor but you can't get them at all here.

[Dennis]

Excellent! Do he mention if it will be available at retail stores (sooner or later) or internet purchase only?

[Nitrox]

This is great news, I am looking forward to getting one or two or......
I hope we can get blades for them cheap as well.:001_smile

[SSLStudio]

looking forward to the review Joel , I''ll bookmark the thread.

[letterk]

I feel bad for all those people scouping up adjustables on ebay to resell.

Personally, I am waiting for the return of the reel/band razor.

I've got one you can buy now!

[greenerock]

Do I need to get both when they come out or is the adjustable a much better razor? I'm sure I'll get both, right? :w00t: Doug

[joel]

Gents,
Just wanted to let you know I have a standard, and adjustable on the way to test and report back to you fellas on, which should get here by weeks end. They will be available to purchase in 3 weeks, and there WILL be a B&B group buy if you guys would like - so that we are able to get and even lower price! :biggrin:

--Mark

[joel]

Do you have each of the original models to compare to or will the review just be straight up?

It depends on which model of standard and adjustable is sent - as there are a wide array of examples. I do not currently have an adjustable injector - but I have tried one several times. As far as functionality, they should be IDENTICAL as they are the exact same razor, made in the exact same plant (IE exact same dies, tolerances, etc) the only difference being the "new" ones will not have the Shick logo, and they are made of a higher quality steel that is more corrosion resistant. I'll mainly be testing/examining these to insure they are of the same, or superior qaulity of the original, and that they shave/function properly, so basically it will not be a "side by side" comparison of old VS new. :smile:

[madmedic]

Count me in as well....but I will need a bulk buy on Blades too. Don't think they can be found in the UK?

Brian

[madmedic]

Excellent news, I've never tried an injector and would like to!



I had one many years ago when they were current. Sure I have it somewhere ....just can't find it. I think the problem in the UK will be feeding the beast with blades.

Brian

[joel]

Brian

Brian,
I am not sure if you could find blades in the UK at a brick and mortar store, but you could order a large quantity online and solve your problem :biggrin:

Speaking of blades.... when we get our bulk razor order settled out - we should also do a bulk injector order so as to get the lowest price on blades as well!

[madmedic]

With all the offers available ....B&B is turning into a High Quality "One Stop Shop".....I love it:001_smile

Brian

[mrob]

I'm in.

[Dennis]

Ditto

[Suzuki]

I'm interested

Well, Well, Well...., Jacob Schick's Injector somes back from the dead!

Does this company have the distribution network? Are the American public ready for a Schick return?

Going retro could be the next big thing in male grooming - then again it could be a big flop. I wish them luck.

John,
According to Jay (the CEO) they have the first 20,000 in route right now, and another 50,000 already spoken for. Good news to me as 70,000 new Injectors in circulation means blades will not go extinct!

[JohnP]

Me too....

Have one vintage, think '43-'45, great razor...

Want to have an adjustable, pleeeeaaaase...

Thanks

[teamacacia]

I'm in for the bulk purchase of razors and blades

[ouch]

Don't even think of a group buy without including me.:lol:

[Dinder1]

Count me in. DJ.

[NYLaw]

Yeah, I'm in too. I'd like to try both the regular and adjustable.

Joel, any idea on the price (range) for the B&B Group Buy? (Or did I miss that in an earlier post?)

Thanks! (And keep us updated on the B&B Brush too!)

Depends on how many fellas we get ordering.... of course the larger the group buy the greater the discount. Hopefully we can get 50+ guys and i'll see if I can't shoot for free shipping for all of us and a free pack of shick blades - but we'll have to see how many fellas we can get on board, and how good my bargaining skills are :lol:

[Jonnybc]

I'm in! Providing the razors can be shipped to the UK.

Could we do a deal on blades too, I don't know anywhere over here that sells the injector blade!

[rtaylor61]

Well, I decided not to wait for a group order when I got a call this morning to not just reserve any razors but to actually order them. I have both a regular and adjustable set to ship the 3rd week of July. According to Samantha, they are an "exact" copy of the Schick without the brand name on the razor.

Randy

Randy,
For what it is worth - according to Jay there will be absolutly no short supply of these razors in 3 weeks when they are released.... literally they'll have 10's of thousands available to sell to the public, and are/will be getting a steady supply from now on. Just as a heads up, as once we put together a group buy - you might want to "move" your order into the group buy, as we'll get the razors the same time you would if you bought individually, the only difference would be the price.

Just a heads up. :smile:

Joel,

I gave that some thought, but with the price point being $15 bucks, I don't see the savings being significant. And maybe I'll buy in on the group buy as well. I didn't get one for my son!

Hi Joel,

It's a really good idea and keep up that great work...

It looks like someone already has tried out the new injectors! There are pictures posted on SMF.com and a short review!

[letterk]

You can probably count me in on the adjustable.

[ajw1976]

I'm in

[Nitrox]

If we get 50 people, that would be the minimum as some of us will be buying multiple units, so it could possibly get into the hundreds of razors being bought.:biggrin:

[acoldspoon]

I'm in!

[Scotto]

I'll jump in the fray.

[Kyle]

I'm in.

I'm in too. Back in the day I was a Schick Man, I thought Gillette was too dang Big. (turns out i was right)

Welcome to B&B Nelson and James (Sanglant).

[Phog Allen]

Hi guys. Count me in on the group purchase. If it doesn't work out, well...I'll order some anyway!

Count me in on one of the fixed-head/nonadjustable models! :w00t:

[dridiot]

Count me in.

But the last time I checked, they only accept international money orders on overseas order.

Thanks,

[htownmmm]

Could someone tell me how the injector is different from the de? i know about it only being one blade which slides in, but i am wondering how different the shave is.

Marty
Greetings Marty,

It is a much more forgiving razor. Unlike a DE where form is intimately related to the resulting shave, an injector is very similar to using a machx in that the handle runs almost parallel to your face. I use the adjustable model which sports a very long comfortable handle and is nicely balanced.

[jfm]

I'm in as well!

[cooncatbob]

I'm in too.:w00t:

[letterk]

With Joel's glowing review and the fact that I already have an adjustable injector, I'm changing my "in" for the fixed head.

[htownmmm]

Rik,

tyx for clearing that up 4 me-I'm in for an adjustable and a fixed head!:biggrin:





Marty

[Rik]

I agree with Joel that the adjustability factor is over rated. It's a feature that goes unused on my razor.

[HlSheppard]

I'm in on the non-adjustable and the blades.

[Joe Lerch]

Unlike a DE where form is intimately related to the resulting shave, an injector is very similar to using a machx in that the handle runs almost parallel to your face. I use the adjustable model which sports a very long comfortable handle and is nicely balanced.Actually, it's the blade that's just about parallel to your face, and that's the ideal position. Also, it seems to fall into that position automatically, so there's no guessing about angle. Another thing, the blades are thicker and stiffer, making them ideal for a heavy beard. Some guys with heavy beards have peoblems with DE blades because they're so thin and flexible.

[Joe Lerch]

Joel, I certainly would like to get some of these razors and join the group if only for convenience.

I assume this thread is just to see how much interest there is and that there'll be another for joining and paying for the purchase.

Yep.... in about 5-6 days or so, I'll start a thread and come up with an exact # we want to order and how many packs of blades (I am hoping we can get the price of blades down to $3 a box of 7 instead of $5 for a box of 7, however I found a pack of 11 injector blades at Longs Drugs for only $3.50 - so if they work as well - we might want to source a group buy on those instead). Since nationwidecampus won't have the razors for 3 weeks or so, if we do the poll on how many razors/blades in 5-6 days, let it ride for a week, then talk to nationwide - we'll still have plenty of breathing room before the razors arrive and are ready for shipment. :smile:

[acoldspoon]

I want mine NOW! I was told on the phone that we have to wait till the third week in July for one to ship. WAH! Any word on how to get one sooner?

[rossination]

Forgive me if this is already mentioned elsewhere - but how much do we expect the razor to be?

[stropmegently]

I have only ever seen pictures of the injector. What is it? I understand it is essentially what appears to be a "modern" razor that has one blade only (blade is equivalent to half of a DE). Is that correct? If not, could someone educate me?

Thanks,

Darren

Darren,
Here are some pix (http://www.badgerandblade.com/gallery/browseimages.php?c=38&userid=)to look at, a picture being worth a thousand words. Here's a thread (http://www.badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1568) on loading one with a blade.

[stropmegently]

Thank you Ron. I would love to see one in real life, perhaps that time is coming soon.

Darren

[AceHarddrive]

Do the razors come with a pack of blades?

~Tim :cool:

[rebornshaver]

Nationwidecampus now has the Schick style injector razors. They have both the adjustable and non-adjustable. I say Schick style because they say they are "off brand".

[rtaylor61]

Look for the thread on the group buy. Save a few bucks and get a great razor!

Randy

[javyn]

I don't understand....why the group buy thing? It looks to me the razors are available to order directly from the site...?

[letterk]

Read the thread. Reduced cost.

[javyn]

I read part of the thread, but not all 9 pages of it. So, yes I know it is for reduced cost. But I still don't quite get reserving items with no up-front price set. Thank you for the response.

[letterk]

We can't spill the beans here, but if you're interested add your name to the list and you'll get PM'd the info. The thread is just to show interest. You're not required to make the purchase.

[javyn]

Ah, gotcha. Much obliged good sir!

[Creslin]

I would likely be interested in getting in on the group buy. Just let me know when and all the other variables.

[TheYoshi]

Please, please, please try to encourage them to start producing the Gillette Fat Boys if they can get a license to do so!

[cooncatbob]

Please, please, please try to encourage them to start producing the Gillette Fat Boys if they can get a license to do so!
Getting the license isn't the problem, those patents expired years ago, it's the tooling which I'm sure Gillette has destroyed years ago. A adjustable TTO razor is many more parts then an injector.
I also would love to see reproductions of the great Gillette razors from the 50s and the 60s. I would be willing to pay a premium price for an improved product. Maybe make them out of stainless steel or thicker plating.:w00t:

[rebornshaver]

Sounds good to me.:thumbup:

[Larry C in Texas]

I would also be interested in getting in on the group buy for the injector razor from nationwide.

[moses]

I only wish they weren't so ugly....

Don't worry, once cooncatbob gets his hands on one, he will show us all their potential. :wink:

[VR6ofpain]

So what happened with this?

[rtaylor61]

So what happened with this?

Gabe,

They pretty much sucked. Quality control was nonexistent. I got both the regular and adjustable. They aren't even good as paperweights. But there were a few that turned out fine.
