Injector Razor Classification and Identification
Disclaimer
This is a work in progress!
It's not even a work in progress - it's a proof of concept.
Lots of information is missing and what's here may be wrong.
If you have any issues with copyrights for the images used on these pages, please let me know and I'll remove the images right away or amend the credit given if requested.
The information on these pages was collected from a variety of sources.
Some people have tried to expand on Appleby's work. Two extended versions can be found at
There are probably others. While I'm going to stick with Appleby's classification, I'm not happy with the way the information is presented and the fact that there are errors in it and information about one razor is kept in two different places. So I started this little project to improve on the information that is already out there and the way it is presented.
