Okay, I am now the happy owner of a fresh pack of Personna blades from Connaught and I can confirm that these are indeed sharp. I must have had the worst luck ever with those Schicks. None of them felt right. I know you can get a bad blade here and there, but a whole pack? Well, the first four, anyway. I chucked it after that ...
So, I have a good blade and it seemed right to insert a Personna into ... a Personna.
I gather the Personna razor is a little different to Schicks, making use of a different angle. Given that I am yet to have a successful shave with an injector I'm going to consider this my first shave and so, don't need to adapt or learn a different angle compared to other injectors. There's madness in that there method
I do have a question, though ...
Upon injecting the blade, it was on a slight angle and I was able to push it to the back of the razor. Is that right, or should the blade be right up against the stops either side of the bar? It's something like a .20 gap, so negligible, but I know "blade reveal" does make all the difference.
What say you guys?
Wish me well. Tonight is the night I get to enjoy an injector. Positive thinking.

Daft thing is, I gave the area just under my sideburns a scrape with no prep just to confirm blade sharpness and got smooth skin. What's going on? This shave was milder than the lightest Tech and that one pass was it ... I just could not get it any closer, whatever the angle.
One last try ... it all rests on the Schick J.
If that fails, get your hawk eyes on the BST forum
