    I have one. I modified mine to take a ProSuper blade because that is my favorite blade in an Artist Club. Fit and finish on the razor is OK, but not great and it is heavy.

    Initially I was curious because I love injector razors (my favorite safety razor), but in the end I decided that Schick got it right the first time and as long as I can get blades for a Schick, the Cobra was in second place IMO.

    I would say, get a regular injector and if you want to try a Feather blade just cut one down and have at it.

    I think they are comparing the Cobra with a DE. With that in mind, I don't disagree, I prefer it to a DE but not to an injector.
