I like the look of it, and the concept seems like a good one. I have read some reviews on B&B, but thought I would ask here, where, well, I'll say no more.

Wow! what a fabulous looking razor Ian! However, when americans talk about straights, I notice they include shavettes with this description as well. So therefore does this razor take 1/2 of a DE Feather blade,(like a Shavette would) - making the razor an SE? Or are these people on about a completely new Feather blade designed for this razor only?? :?

The problem you'll have with that bad boy is the stupidly sharp blades it takes. I use the Feather AC sometimes which has a built-in safety angle - I'm not sure the Cobra has that and those blades really are sharp. I might have read somewhere that someone might have used 'normal' injector blades - then again I might be barking up the wrong kettle of fish.
There might also have been problems with some of the blades not fitting properly - might be Super Pros as they are thicker.
spandexcodpiece said:..With reference to the Cobra razor Ian. I have re-read the gumph on the web site details that you gave, and it is plain to see the blade in question is loaded with an Injector! So therefore, there is a similarity to the Schick Injector system isn't there ? So is this a completely new blade suitable only for the Cobra? It would certainly seem to be the case! I would be very careful here before you decide to purchase, because given the price of the razor, these blades are bound to be expensive, very expensive!! :shock:

It takes the Feather blades designed for the Feather AC razors. The AC's work like a shavette, but have their own blades. They're a bit like an Injector blade, but longer and a damn site sharper.
The Cobra is a bit like an Injector on steroids.

Thank you for your patience and tolerance in enlightening me with regard to equipment I didn't know existed! Newbys like me can be a bit tiresome at times with our naivety and ignorance, and don't always post in an appealing way when asking questions. However, the adventure continues, I've learnt something else-great, thank you once again.

Nice move. I was just about to inform a steward about your behaviour and have you taken aside for a stern talking to.
