Gear shift handle

Post by Laney1566 »

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.

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. :lol:

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