will the injector twin accept regular injector blades?
I think you are right.Someone correct me if I am mistaken, but I believe the Twin only refers to the blades and the razor that came in the promo packs was a standard injector.

ah, good point, those twin blades did come out much later than some of the earlier model injectors.
Though now that you said that, I'm curious to see what the shave from the older more aggressive injector razors would be like with a twin blade.
I tried some twin injector blades a few times. The edges are so close to each other that it's not a very good shave at all. The stubble gets into the teeny little gap between the two edges and then that's about it. You can't shave with a clogged up blade, and you really can't rinse it out because the gap is so narrow and there is no pass-through. The edges are connected along the spine and even though there are tiny holes in one of the blades it's nothing you can rinse through.
I realize it was a gimick to counter the competition, but it is a miserable shave.
I bought several packs of twinjectors last year and only opened one. The rest are in my collection, where they'll stay.
I've since seen some come up on eBay and didn't even consider buying them.
I agree that they are quite a bit thicker than regular injectors and shouldn't be jammed into older model razors.
I like twin's, they work great for my head and face. I bought 8 packs last month when I was in Japan.
Are they still made for the Japanese market, or were these old stock?
I kick myself every time I think that I could have bought a brand new type-O when I was there in 2000. I saw them but had no interest at the time... I probably would have lost it by now anyway I keep telling myself...LOL
I did manage to snipe a used type-O through ebay for $45, 2 years ago.
Injectors do pop up from time to time on Japanese auction sites, in the $50-$100 range depending if they are used or NOS.
