Nice one Dave, like you I try to use old razors but have had one or two failure attempts to get a modern blade to work in something verging on a vintage agricultural or surgical tool but thankfully the ubiquitous GEM Personna is around, otherwise I’d have quite a few more “display only” razors to my name than I needWednesday October 19, 2022

Thanks, The "Firm Blade" is a razor I am not comfortable/confident with any blade I've tried yet although some say an injector works. Can't get one to be even and stable. Then the curved placement makes me think it better for armpits than a faceNice one Dave, like you I try to use old razors but have had one or two failure attempts to get a modern blade to work in something verging on a vintage agricultural or surgical tool but thankfully the ubiquitous GEM Personna is around, otherwise I’d have quite a few more “display only” razors to my name than I need
I tried to get a modded GEM to work in an ENDERS Speed razor (the original blades have small arms that clip into the head which can’t be replicated with a GEM) but despite my best efforts and trying many razor shave angles the result was a really aggressive shave, so that was binned.

Enders are nice shavers with an Injector blade, using one on video for my Sunday shave and will explain the hack which is very simple but easier to show than type it.I tried to get a modded GEM to work in an ENDERS Speed razor (the original blades have small arms that clip into the head which can’t be replicated with a GEM) but despite my best efforts and trying many razor shave angles the result was a really aggressive shave, so that was binned.

In a time of great uncertainty, the political world seems to change each day, I look to THE FAT and it remains as resolute as ever (if you got a good batch that is)
