    Default Injector Style Straight

    GOOD MORNING

    DOES ANYBODY USE OR HAVE EVER TRIED AN INJECTOR TYPE STRAIGHT. I KNOW THEY MAKE SEVERAL TYPES INCLUDING A 1/2 DE BLADE AND THE FEATHER AG BUT I WAS THINKING OLD STYLE INJECTOR BLADES THAT FIT IN A HESS #1010.

    This is it

    I used to have one of those and it worked just fine with regular old injector blades; I've since traded it away but never had an issue with it. It also uses hair shaper blades (just don't use the injector insert) if you want a longer shaving edge.

    Hey glad any time I can help. Usually I'm just spreading my opinion to folks who DON'T necessarily want to hear it ...

    But seriously, I liked mine fine. It is a bit awkward putting the blades in (you'll see what I mean) with the injector type ones...but overall had no issues with it.
    Great too if you don't want to bother with a strop when you travel somewhere but don't want to "lapse" back to a M3 or something...

    Hi John,

    I have been a DE guy for along time and previously had a straight that I bought off eBay then sold it then bought a str8 that uses 1/2 of a DE blade(terrible) and now I want to try this as an alternate. Since no stropping or honing required and easy enough to get injectors.
