    No, it was designed for a standard Gem blade. Which slots in at the back of the head and held by blade corner stops and side tabs which also slot into the blade side cut-outs. The handle, when screwed in also butts up to the blade.
    Now the injector blade is of similar width and luckily fits between the blade corner stops and the side tabs and the handle screw.
    I haven't tried any other injector blades, but will definitely try them.

    Hope that helps.

    Menthol Monday’s Heavy Duty Grand Freeze:

    Hot shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Bic day 3
    Stirling Glacial Mango Sunrise SS
    Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
    Noble Otter Northern Elixir AS Splash

    This morning I transplanted the Bic blade into my cheap Junjie razor just to experiment and it seemed to work very well. Truthfully this Glacial Mango Sunrise soap is so wonderful - the scent is absolutely gorgeous, the lather is magnificent - not only is it so thick and rich, it’s so slick as well as protective, the menthol sensation is LETHAL, and it’s chock full of skincare. The Stoffel balm added to the soothing and freezing while the Northern Elixir aftershave went on frigidly cold along with its nice peppermint/eucalyptus scent. Another brilliant three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed to the max!

    Wishing you all a good week ahead - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    PSC Caffeinated Shaving Cream
    Jayaruh #18 Silvertip Badger
    Gillette Single Ring Razor (1911)
    Gillette Silver Blue Blade
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    PSC Caffeinated After Shave

    The PSC Caffeinated Shaving Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #18 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Single Ring Razor (1911) and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and PSC Caffeinated After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    I'm always happy to review different Barbershop soaps though-but will stick with good ol' Clubman for the "matching" aftershave.

    I may have asked you about this before, but I don't get the sense that Bill Neumann's Absolute Zero is that cold....do you?

    Good-looking Badger brush. I recently bought my first Badger in 10 years of being a member here. Now that I bring that up, it seems I've been here longer than 10.

    Thanks for your post. I have a cheap Junjie razor also. It actually gives a pretty good shave, but I have it stashed away with a bunch of other razors. I haven't used it in years. I might dig it out to use again.

    How do you like that Chiseled Face? Their Summer Storm might be my next CF.

    Thank you! The Wee Scot is a fantastic little brush. If I didn't like variety, I would have no problem using it everyday!
