Injector & SE Party !!!

FOUND A NEW TYPE OF INJECTOR RAZOR! Pics coming soon!

 

What is it??

 

Well, admittedly I don't actually find anything in the forum rules against teasers…

 

Open comb injector?

 

Give us a hint...does it use injector blades

 

Well, we're waiting.

 

Guess it was a lie... No pics

 

While we are waiting for pics, I have a quick question. Do you guys flip your SE blade over before each shave or do you just leave it in the razor until time to change it out?

 

Patience on the pics will no doubt be rewarded. After all, people do get called away from the forums to deal with real life from time to time.

I take a Gem style SE blade out to rinse it and pat it dry, and don't pay any attention to whether it's getting flipped or not when I put it back in.

 

I'm trying a few things out that I've read or seen so right now I may be doing what many will think is overkill. Here's my routine currently when finishing my shave:

1. Take blade out of razor
2. Pat dry with towel on both sides
3. Hand strop blade
4. Place blade in tupperware container to limit amount of airflow around the blade

For the next shave I pull out the blade from it's container, hand strop again, and then place in razor for use. Sometimes I try to pay attention to the spine to remember which side was up last time. If I can remember, then I'll flip it. If not, then no big deal. I think the airflow restriction is more important, plus I hand strop so the sides should be pretty similar... I hope!

 

Why do you worry about air restriction?

"It seems like the best way to extend the life of a blade is to keep it clean, dry, and away from air. This keeps tiny particles picked up from the skin off the blade and slows oxidation which eventually creates chips along the blade edge."

 

hmmmm. that is interesting.

 

Take it out, hand strop one side, flip, hand strop other side, put into next razor.
So, yes, I guess I flip it.

 

I take every blade out after I'm done, dry it thoroughly then place it in a small plastic container that contains a couple moisture absorbing packets. Overkill? Maybe, but I never use the same razor two days in a row so I take a few extra seconds to clean and dry the blade since it's coming out of the razor anyway.

 

Sorry Guys for being latewith the pic! Don't crucifiy me just yet. I meant to say, I found a razor that you can use an injector blade in. It's The Kriss Kross, made in Stlouis. I had to make sure that it worked OK, and it does. I took the Kriss Kross blade out and put an injector EMS blade in, and it shaved like crazy!

 

Do you need a back stop to fill the gap caused by using the injector blade, or does it hold the blade in firm without any additional shimming?

 

I really don't think that was a Kriss Kross Blade in it. Someone had the larger size black blade in it . This is the razor that tilts to different angles. When I bought it one blade was inside, and nothing in the blade package. I was doing research on it. I know someone else probably has done the same thing, that is place an injector blade in it. Now it shaved quite mild or shall I say medium, not aggressive at all. I may have misspoke before I had the proof. Sorry my lads! This is one good shaving razor. I have some Twin Injector blades I want to try out if they fit.

 

It holds so far quite well. you press down on the back of the head, the front piece raises up,slide the blade in, then depress or let go of the head piece and it pushes down with pressure holding the blade in place!

 

Mystery solved, then. I'd heard of these razors, but never would have guessed that you could use an injector blade in them. It's useful to know which of these old proprietary-bladed SE razors might be able to use something else.
