While Proline blades fit injector razors, in my book they are not injector blades as they do not come with suitable means to inject them. You need to manually transfer them to a proper magazine first.
(That definition might disqualify Personna blades as well, as their plastic magazines are not suitable for injecting a blade either
)Having said that, the Prolines are good blades and reasonably priced.

The Proline B20s are fantastic in my Ender's and Schick type B repeating razor. But I agree they can be more trouble than they are worth in many injectors. Especially with the rounded corners not seating well on blade stops.

So the Supply Razor folks, a few months back announced an unlimited supply of blades thing which is basically a subscription, not surprising, but what was surprising is they are said they have their blades specially ground for them and that they are different than the ones they previously sold which were the Personna. Personna may make them, but is grinding them differently if they do.
Anyone tried the new blades? If they were good, I would give them a shot.

I have one of these, but I have not used it. I will have to give it a try. I really like the Schick Proline.

I love the Personnas and those Schick Bee's Knees and the Prolines...All Great. I've got the technique for the plastic Personna injectors...never lost one yet! You have to know the right angle, and hold (thumb on top, fingers underneath and hold it together) and NEVER Gorilla Them!
