Hi All,
I'm the proud new papa of an "L" style injector gotten off the "bay" recently. It was in great shape, but needed a bit of cleaning (some rust spots from the old blade) and I needed some fairly minor first aid (didn't realize the blade was still in there! Thankfully, I had some superglue near at hand (it's better than a bandaid)). But, it cleaned up beautifully and after I adjusted my technique slightly, got a great shave. I'm not abandoning my DEs, but the Injector makes for some nice variety and will definitely be a keeper. (Of course, I leave open the posibility of injector RAD setting in, except that I don't really care for the style of the pre-'70s ones).
Anyhow, two quick questions. 1) Since I get 3-4 shaves out of a DE blade (IP or Derby), do I assume correctly that I'll get about the same out of an injector blade. I know, YMMV and all that, but what's the common experience?
2) Based on what I can dig up, this is an "L" style injector (70s styling and not adjustable). Yet, the backside of the head is marked "M10." Is this right or a mismark?
Thanks in advance & best to all,
PS: I'm getting my blades from CVS (CVS brand).
