    I hope so. I want to find someone who can hone the blades first professionally. One of them is visibly uneven and my skills aren't up to par yet..

    I think i've seen someone use disposable SE blades in these, or have i been imagining things again?

    Yes. Disposable SE blades work great on this model, whicn is a great shaver.

    And how do you secure a disposable blade in a razor made for a wedge?

    Around 2:15 minutes into the video he shows and talks about that it works with modern blades even though initially made for a wedge - and how to use the spring on the back.



    Another one here:

    I use modern SE blades on the one I have like this, but I did have a guy to hone a couple of the wedge blades for me since some of my lather-catchers can't use modern SE blades. If you want his name, send me a PM as I'm not sure he'd want me to advertise him openly.
