Razor update: the guard protector lever.

Well, color me shamed! The answer to my lever question was in front of me all along! It was in the Injectors for Dummies thread on Shave Den: "In 1973 the only major functional change to these razors was introduced with a new guard lever marketed initially as the protector that locked the guard from moving and in such a way that you could grab the razor head without cutting your fingers. This covers from 1973 -1984 / 86." Member is BBS, not sure if it is BBS here as well, but someone with that username posted here regarding Schick twin blades and the injectors, and seemed knowledgeable enough for me to believe it is the same gent!

And being of a curious nature, I put in a blade, moved the lever, and proceeded to rub my finger across the blade area! No blood, no cuts! Sunday will most likely be the inaugural shave with both this newer Type M and the twin blades. I have a Type N inbound, and look forward to have a good time during SE September!

As an aside, good thing I didn't enter any sabbaticals this year! Man, I have moved more gear through my shave kit than when I was new and buying razors like crazing in 2016 and 2017. Of course, I didn't have so many friends helping me out, either, lol!

Bit late of a reply but yes I am same BBS that wrote the dummies guides for Schick injectors. The most current ones are at TSD, the B&B ones are no longer being maintained since I am not a member there anymore. I'd post them here but it is a lot of work to reupload all the pictures to a third party hosting service and rewrite the posts. If the mods don't have an issue with linking to other shave forums I'll put together a seperate post with links to all the guides.

Good to see you here Andy. DFS has never had a problem with links before and don't think it's changed. Pretty open forum here. What say you guys Marko Freddy etc.

For something like this I don't see a problem.

Hi Andy, nice to meet you here, too (If I recall, you answered a question for me on TSD a while back). Your Dummies guides have been a fantastic resource for me as I continue transforming into a Schick-head! Thanks for stopping by and posting!
