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 (?). Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
nope had a blade in it was a new blade i injected and pushed out the old blade.. it just didnt want to cut but blades are good because i tried in a g type and fine and a m type and fine its just this razor i just dont like.....maybe i need to give it a little more time but i just dont know...
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? Sent from my iPhone using TappityTalk Pro
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 ? Sent from my Galaxy using Tapatalk
