According to Waits:
"Uses one-half of a split Gillette-type double-edge blade"
What's that then? A quarter blade?
I'm planning to send him a list of errata (it's growing) and might include this.

Well that's disappointing.

Would a trimmed injector or AC be worth a try?

Possibly. I was thinking of a short jaguar or tondeo blade, they might fit without heading to the toolshed. No worries, something will work out.
