It's not the snapped off ends that get me either. It's definitely the little protrusions at either end of the comb. It makes you wonder why they didn't make the head just a few mm wider at each end to envelope the blade fully , since they obviously would know the length of the blade exposure. I know the while point of this razor is affordability and unique design but surely it would have impacted the cost that much to have it slightly wider?Third shave this morning with the Rocnel and a few more nicks. It's definitely the ends of the blade digging in, not the sharp bits left from snapping the tabs off. I'm on the fence with this razor, apart from the nicks it's a nice smooth shave.

+1I gave up and went with the Extrashaving option with lined handle.
I've actually managed to change ½ blades with snapped ends without injury.Snap it (very loud) and no way on earth could you slide it in. Tried 3 times, almost cut myself and gave up.
To be fair I probably need to use it more to become more accustomed. What went through my mind is do I need to faff around with half a blade?I've actually managed to change ½ blades with snapped ends without injury.
