Let's talk about single and double edged razors and the blades that they use.

I remember my Uncle had a razor when I was a kid that had a gear shift knob on the bottom.
What was it please?

It was a limited run of the Schick Injector, at the same time they did one with a handle resembling that of a tennis racket.

Funny you should mention that as a certain infamous blogger just mentioned that yesterday.
Here's the picture he has of his Injector.

Yeah that's it. Just curious.
One of those childhood memories that popped into my head this morning.

I would only use it if it was a 6-speed.

Is Laneyxxxx actually shaveblogboy in drag? Or one of his flying monkeys at least? Inquiring carrots want to know! Ut!
By the way, the 5-speed Schick works pretty well, a little better than the 4-speed, IMO. There was no 6-speed, but they did release one with a continuously variable automatic transmission, in VERY limited quantities. One of those would fetch upwards of $250 on E-Bay.

Wow this garnered a Flaming Carrot reply. Nice to see you here.
I don't know if I would use a shifter knob for my razor. I would be too tempted to speed. I think the guy in
Brutal would use the tennis racket handle nicely.

I wonder if he makes a Vroom, Vroom.... noise when he shaves with it.
