I thought I would post my impressions of a couple of different blades I have acquired so far and used in my type 'E' injector.
I first tried the Connaught coated stainless blades which are, I believe, USA current production by Personna. This is a good blade, smooth and gives a comfortable shave. I got a week out of one but was probably pushing it a bit. It didn't get 'tuggy' really but just became less effective.
I next had a go with a NOS, dutch-made Schick blade. This turned out to be considerably sharper and, despite a couple of tiny weepers, a very comfortable shave with no irritation. I need to be a little more careful with these.
I'm looking forward to trying the Chinese current-production Schick blades next and a few other NOS blades I have acquired.
Of the two tested so far, I would use the Personnas for everyday, good shaves and the NOS chappies for 'best' but with a bit more deliberation.
