This is a bit of a 'faceplam' moment. In my hungover state and not being familiar with either the blade or the razor, I hadn't loaded it properly. I'd neglected to notice the two small rests at either end of the blade edge. These obviously are where the blade should sit to align and hold it safely. I'd completely missed them, and had the blade hanging out further and (I realise now) probably quite unsecurely, hence the ease with which the claret was spilt.
Definitely a lesson learnt. And one I'm prepared to volunteer to this forum for your amusement!
Upshot is, love the razor, and will get on fine with the blades.

Glad you mentioned it on the Forum though, as I'll make a point of advising anyone else I chat with who fancies an SE to ensure the blade is correctly aligned. So, your experience has not been in vain (and thankfully not in vein either).
Did anyone else see what I did there .............. Not in vein ??? Eh, eh ???
JohnnyO. :lol:

There are two types of single blade razors the cut throat and the safety razor, both can take single blade disposables, but it's important to try both to see which you are more comfortable using.
