silly question.would the original brass cartridge /key that came with the razor be refillable?

Yes, keep the blade towards the key of the magazine so the edge doesn't get dulled.

awesome thank you ,even better..

very cool Clint..nice pic..

Thank you Gary.

That is my understanding.

Leaving a blade in makes sense actually. Good point!

I agree its technique that matters - The Original Micromatic has a rather undeserved reputation, once you get the hang of it it quite smooth and comfortable to use. Think long and hard before you criticise a Razor - It could be you

Schick E2
Schick Proline B

All this talk of injectors left me with no other option.
A great start to a Sunday morning.
Smooth Shaves to one and all.

very cool Kevin..happy sunday..

Thanks Gary, you too.

SE Sunday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #206
Henckels Rapide
Gem CS SE
CWR
Cella After Shave Balm

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 Brush. I did two passes with the Henckels Rapide razor with a Gem CS SE Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Reshave with this razor. Best shave yet, glass like BBS shave though this razor is nowhere as near as efficient as the movable spring E2. I think either I screwed up the blades edges when I transferred blades into this razor or the other blades are just not as good. In the case of the Proline B-20 blades as RonR pointed out they don't sit flush on the blade stops because they are slightly shorter than the chicks and personna blades so that could be a factor depending how the razor is designed for exposure and such. Either way lesson here is I am not switching out blades any longer and just need to keep better track of how many shaves on each blade in each razor from here on in.
