Am I missing something in my "search" skills? I don't see a concentrated thread on this topic

Might you please share the names of your favorite SE Injector and barber style blades? Whilst you at it, in addition to comfort, scarcity  and longevity in use, how about estimating their cost/benefit value to you?

Thank you (and accept my apologies if you respond with a link to a prior recent thread).

My number one injector blade is the vintage Schick Plus Platinum. I get 6 identical shaves. The 90s Schick injectors are currently being evaluated, but appear nearly as good. Longevity to be determined. Supply Black Labels have been getting a bad rap for the plastic cartridges, but they get my recommendation for modern blades. Schick Prolines are available in injector and Artist Club lengths, but they don't include an injector key so you have to manually transfer them to a cartridge with one. Not for me thank you. There are also Japanese market Schick injector blades only available at Connaugh that do have the key. They are, confusingly, made in the US, but meant for Japan. They are pricey, but they should basically be the same as Prolines. With the availability of vintage blades still not depleted, I would just head to The Bay. Or get Chicks(Chinese Schicks) off Amazon, I still haven't tried them.

I have mainly used the Schicks bought on Amazon and made in China, what I call sChick blades. They work very well for me. I do have some Japanese ones, but I don't notice anything different, other than price.
