DISCLAIMER :
I AM SIMPLY DESCRIBING MY EXPERIENCE. IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT, DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK AND VERY BE CAREFUL, SINCE YOU CAN CUT YOURSELF EASILY. !!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a Schick Injector adjustable and pack of Feather Pro-Guard. I read on another thread that people cut the Feather blade with metal shears and put it into injector and get a great shave. May be my shears are bad, but I screwd couple of blades and cut myself trying to trim them, so I got sick and tired of it, took untrimmed feather blade out of its cartridge, slides it into empty Schick cartridge and loaded it into Schick Injector Adjustable as it was a regular blade.
It protrudes from both side for about quarter of inch. Then I carefully shaved with it. Had really smooth shave with no nicks and cuts and I am even not a particularly experienced DE shaver, just used no pressure, no G-slides, hooks buffing etc or any other advanced tricks just WTH, XTG and ATG. Had no problem and as added benefit I found that I can use those exposed parts on the side to shave under the nose, where it's hard to get with the central part of blade
Cobra Classic looks like a nice product, but it's 125$. Of course it's unsafe, but I don's think it's more unsafe then a straight razor, may be even less.
Setting of adjustable was on 3. May be we can lobby Feather to manufacture Schick Injector compatible blades :-)
