How to remove the blade from Wilkinson Sword Empire Safety Razor *pics*

This is for cvixx, who PMed me asking how to remove the blade from the Wilkinson Sword Empire safety razor. I tried to explain it, but perhaps my explanation wasn't very good, so here are some pictures.

The first picture shows the razor front view of the blade. You see the nub to the left, which is where the back of the blade will "pop" onto the razor when you twist it.

The second and third picture are a before and after of holding the mounted blade and then twisting it away from you to remove the blade.

Side note, I have never used this razor to shave, it's a piece of antiquity that I received from my father. I believe it was one of my great uncle's, so I will keep it as an heirloom piece, but with the lack of replaceable blades available I think that's as far as this will ever go. But it sure looks neat, and came in a nice silvered case.
