Soooo...despite all the warnings about the life span of vintage blades I threw caution to the wind and slid in a 1940's injector blade and...proceeded to scrape off a few whiskers. After the first pass and a hint of a tears, I grit my teeth and went for a second pass. I think stubbornness got the better of me or perhaps a desire to "man up" so I could truly say I have shaved with a vintage blade, however, I could not make myself do a third pass.
Despite being VERY careful and paying close attention to technique, all I managed was some irritation on my neck and very little reduction of the stubble. Wow did that blade pull, perhaps even pulled some whiskers out.
Loaded up my old Type head on a Fat Handle and did a VERY gentle single pass to at least make it feel like I shaved.
Has as anyone else given a vintage injector blade a try? If not...I Double Dog Dare ya! YMMV
