I think you should send it to me, so that I an open it and use it, Or I might frame it ad hang it on the wall to show those who after us what a framed razor looks like.
To Open or Not to Open, That is the Question?

Im not a collector as such, I only keep stuff if I use it but when it comes to original packaging I would keep it sealed.
You decide whether you want to use or collect it.
Open: It's a tool and should be used as such.
These are my sentiments.
I hear the shaves are very good. If you don't already have a shaver-grade one, open it up and have yourself a minter.
+1 The second mistake you made was asking everyone what to do.
I have a NOS Black Handle SS and a user grade. The NOS is sitting in a drawer waiting for the day when I'm ready to PIF it and torment someone with this very dilemma.

Get another one just like it, put that one away and then OPEN THIS GUY AND ENJOY THE FECAL MATTER OUT IF IT!
I'm also a user, but we all like what collectors like so I would open it.
I think the only time I wouldn't open a still sealed package of anything is maybe a sentimental reason, or because I found a duplicate of something. You can't shave you're face if the razors in the package.
Open it, use it once, and PIF it to me.

What are you saving it for? Unless you're planning to display or donate it to a museum as an outstanding or rare example of a 1970s Schick injector; sell it for many times what you paid; or pass it on for someone else to eventually use, there's no reason not to open it up and enjoy it!

I bought a NOS Schick Protector model injector. I loved being the first one to shave with it too. Open it!
I say do not open, there is real 1970's air in that packaging, two things to consider about that.
First, who knows what they were doing in the 70's releasing that air and the substances contained there in could lead to unexpected side effects.
Do you really want to risk that you start wearing purple bell bottom Corduroy pants and polyester paisley shirts?
Second what if years from now scientists need to test the 1970's air and compare it to the current air ?
You might just have the last 1970s air there.
