Single Edge Razors Part Three

As promised, I will be dedicating a decent portion to single edge razors. For part three let’s talk about injector razors and the OneBlade.

Injector Razors were the brainchild of Lt Colonel Schick who was inspired to make the razor after using semi-automatic weapons during World War 1.  The idea was to load and unload the blade quickly and without touching it, while providing a great shave.  His company succeeded and the Schick injector was made until the 1990’s. Schick still makes the blades to this day.

There have been several companies that have made the design, and more recently Supply Shave company was featured on Shark Tank with a Schick inspired injector that is made of stainless steel.

The OneBlade is also a modern day razor that went through countless prototypes and is truly a unique design. It takes Feather FHS-10 blades which are also used in Auto Strop razors. This is the first new design in classic wet shaving we’ve seen in modern day wet shaving.

Next Up, Straight Razors!

Properly Cleaning/Sanitizing  

  1. Barbercide does wonders.
  2. Boil metal razors, parts
  3. Clean shaving knots
  4. Rubbing alcohol works great.

I’ll tell you how to do it!
