Which twin blade did you try?I found out what I was missing ? -- A really bad experience !
Tried these blades in my Schick M2 today and experienced one of my worst shaves ever !
Used my normal prep and soap and ended up not only with a poor shave but also with post shave irritation, which I normally don't experience.
I will have another try sometime, but it certainly appears that what gives one person a great shave, can give another a crap one !
YMMV really exists !
Were they new or NOS blades? You are right though, YMMV really does exist, be it blades, razors or anything you may use.I found out what I was missing ? -- A really bad experience !

NOS Schick Injector Twin Teflon coatedWhich twin blade did you try?
Mmm, that's always the chance you take with NOS blades, some are good some are just collector items. You can buy new Schick twin blades and you may find you have a better shave.NOS Schick Injector Twin Teflon coated
Good point - might be worth a try !Mmm, that's always the chance you take with NOS blades, some are good some are just collector items. You can buy new Schick twin blades and you may find you have a better shave.
Not tried the Teflon coated ones, I have the new ones from Japan and some NOS Dutch ones. As @Blademonkey says maybe the NOS one's you have are possibly past their best.Mmm, that's always the chance you take with NOS blades, some are good some are just collector items.

I agree - quite pricey !There are some on ebay here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Schick-In...008270?hash=item466314a5ce:g:yGYAAOSwWxNYpuk9
I got mine on ebay from Japan but the only ones I can see just now look very expensive.
Only the seller that I know of @Bizzyberry has already mentioned I'm afraid....not cheap!Good point - might be worth a try !

Like you said Billy - I can't be the only one, so the chances are the blades are past their "sell by date " ! ( The box was priced at 20 cents of two blades )MMMmm..A Bad Blade or Summit...Dunno..Everybody that Got these Blades Loved them..

I've never had a problem with a NOS blade unless it was from before the 70s. And never gotten a bad shave from a twin. I guess there's a first for everything but I wouldn't give up - put a new one in and see what happens.Like you said Billy - I can't be the only one, so the chances are the blades are past their "sell by date " !

Will give it a try again, next time on setting 7, todays setting was 5. If this is no good then I will try the remaining blade !
Just looked at the pack and it has a special offer " 20c off next pack and offer expires March 31 1975 "I've never had a problem with a NOS blade unless it was from before the 70s.

I have the same offer on mine and I love them… just as good as the new Japanese ones… YMMV…Just looked at the pack and it has a special offer " 20c off next pack and offer expires March 31 1975 "
So they are quite old !
