I slide it into place by hand. I don't have the "clip" that is needed to load the blades into the handle but hope to find one someday. The frame pivots sideways so that the blade slot lines up with an opening in the top of the handle and a blade can then be loaded from the handle, which would be really cool to do.

It's a fantastic razor, here's a shot of it loaded with a blade. You can see the slot to the left at the top of the handle that the blade is fed from into the frame when it is rotated so that the opening for the blade lines up with that slot.

I used a little Gem with a plastic handle that I got NOS. I really liked the shave. I wish I had gotten in on the group buy for the blades. I can't hang out here all the time and I totally missed it.
