    Hello all. I got one of these today cleaned it up loaded blade lathered up and got probably the absolute Worst shave ever.. whats up with these I types??????? I am really thinking of seeing if someone has a razor that uses Feather AC blades that they want to trade for this razor. its in great shape I just don't think it's for me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hmmm... they're fine... damaged blade edge? "Worst shave of my life" comments usually result from injecting a blade in an empty razor (?).

    I had trouble getting my hands on one when I first started collecting. They seemed to be hard to find and too expensive. Eventually when I found one I was disappointed in the shave as well. Many months went by and one day I got it back out and gave it a try. I was amazed at how good a razor it had become just sitting idle in a drawer. The "I" type is now one of my favorite injectors.

    Look closely to make sure the blade stops are good and the blade is seated properly behind them. I was getting a rough shave from the long handle black injector (type J) that I got out of the travel box. Then I noticed on one side the blade was on top of the stop instead of behind it, because it's slightly worn. I pushed it back into place and now it shaves great.

    New blade, right? Not from an Injector that came with the razor?

    Sorry to hear about the bad experience.

    I had used my I1 in a while. I usually do if I'm in a rush. I consider it quite mild.

    Hard for me to offer any help.

    There first thing I would suggest is try another new blade. What brand of blades are you using? What type of blades do you prefer in a DE ?
