Phew.Yeah mate the sharp edge should be facing forward.
I'll try another one tomorrow as well, but I'm more and more convinced that they are in fact symmetrical.This is a dutch NOS, just pushed out of the cartridge.
I thought I had got it, but obviously a bit out of focus.
Will try again tomorrow perhaps.
I'll have another look at the blade tomorrow with a better microscope, but I won't be able to take pictures. I'll let you know my findings. The more I look at the picture, the more I think its symmetrical and just not photographed straight on.Right, sharp bit forwards and omote upwards ...
Interesting, Andreas. I can actually see something there, but not quite sure what but it does look asymmetrical. I think we are erring on the side of that there is a top and a bottom to these blades. I wonder if I should try to release that vintage Schick Krona Edge and try it the other way up. Damn thing won't shave me.
Injector blades only GO in ONE CORRECT WAY..If you put it in upside down you are SNOOKERED..No Bones about that..Moreover..Those Dutch Krona Blades are NOT Carbon..Potentially daft question, but I always say no question is daft if you don't know the answer and all questions raised present the opportunity for self-deprecation and so others to pipe in with "I always wondered that" ...
Anyway, do injector blades have to be inserted one way ... as in is it possible if you've been given a generous slip of single blades cellotaped to a postcard is it possible to put them in upside down?
I've repacked a Personna magazine with blades and just wanted to check I've not potentially packed them in upside down. I've also dropped a vintage Schick Krona Edge into my Golden 500 and it's rough as a Durham dog dresser. I was especially careful not to dull it when slipping it into the magazine for inserting into the razor and especially careful not to dull it on the blade stops when inserting into the razor.
Thoughts?
Dump it..With other vintage blades, I've often stropped them and they've played well ...
How do you strop an injector blade? I've injected it and hand stropped with some alcohol on my hand. I've pushed it out, flipped it over, re-injected it and done the same. Fingers crossed ... I'll try again tomorrow.
