Shick injector blade stockists?

Gentlemen, My father in law is coming back to the good side and has dug out his old Injector. I am trying to locate blades for him. Who stocks the required blades for the injector and are there different blades types?

Thank you in advance for your wisdom

Thank you for your time, I further researched the two band, it appears to have a loyal following and is highly regarded. It sounds like a soap users tool especially when faced lathered.
thanks again.

Penhaligons stockists?

A quick question if I may. I understand that Truefitt & Hill in Chicago stock Penhaligons and other English classics along with the T&H range.
Do any other shaving suppliers/B&M stores in the US stock Penhaligons?

Thank you for your time.

I loaded up with an order of 500 yesterday, my wife is so happy. I am extremly happy with this blade. Used in my Slant it gives great BBS daily.

That puts me at 750 blades plus a few samples of others.

A great blade, I got mine from Connaught.
