The 'injecting' comes from when the blade is inserted into the razor.I'm not sure I'm no expert lol I just thought that's what they called them as they come out of a cartridge like an injection
Yes I've had those replies on Facebook hahahaIt's not a silly question at all! I don't say that just because I asked it as well: https://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/co...ly-daft-question-about-injector-blades.36303/ ... four pages of full and informative replies ... and some sneering (generally, from me)
To requote the best reply: Yes, you want the sharp edge pointing forward.
Thanks for thatThe 'injecting' comes from when the blade is inserted into the razor.
AC blades can actually be injected in the razors they have originally been designed for ie Feather AC shavettes. So you are not totally wrong in calling them injector blades.
I went through a bit of an OCD phase, flipping the blade in my Vector after each shave. I think it made sense at the time because I was expecting to get a lot more shaves out of an AC blade than I actually do. I was reading reports of folk using one Schick Proline for more than a month. I don't know about anyone else, but I usually get 5 shaves out of a Proline, maybe 7 out of a Pro Super.Do injector blades suitable for se razors like my Vector, have a right way up? Or are the blades symmetrical?
I'm not very familiar with injectors. I have a Supply and Parker el Cheapo.
I have always wondered if there is a risk of the sharp edge dragging across metal when inserting in any of the injectors?
