New Schick Band-Razor

 I got this NOS Schick Band-Razor as a pif from a generous shaver in New York, Big W. The razor was introduced in 1966. This one has 10 Super Stainless Steel Krona Comfort edges. This one is not adjustable, however, later models were called Instamatic and were also adjustable. Here is an ad from 1967 showing this razor selling for $2.95. Next week will be Schick Band-Razor Week. Thanks, Big W for the awesome pif.

Enders Backer Blade-Carrier for Injector Blade

 I went through my used razor tub and found two Enders blades. I might as well make two as make one. 

Getting ready to make the backer blades.

I have finished the first step: making the locating bumps for the injector blade. I roughed up the blade and used JB Weld epoxy to fill the holes of the injector blade.

Roughed up blades.

Mixed JB Weld.

Located injector blades and filled the holes.

After an hour, I removed the injector blades.
Will let cure overnight

 The blades will cure overnight. Tomorrow I will remove the beveled edge of the blade and clean them up, making sure that they will accept an injector blade. Next, I will super glue a couple of magnets on the back of the Enders blade. I should be finished with them by Thursday.

Update: 18 Jan 2023

Well I broke one and finished the other.
