Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1029
Many have used this Marketed for Women Schick Injector and humorously call it the Hussy. I've had it for awhile and finally got around to using it. I will say for the most part it was comfortable to hold except for just a couple times when the direction of my strokes caused me to need to hold the ends rather than the ribbed section. The shave itself was VERY comfortable and also efficient. I would say this gives one of the better injector shaves. Unfortunately the downside is the spring seems to be tweeked or weak in holding the blade firmly for the whole shave. I was on my 3rd pass ATG and was down to the final strokes when as I made a stroke I could here a tinny sound like something was loose. Upon taking a look at the razor I saw this........
I reinstalled the blade and it seemed okay to finish the last few ATG strokes. I can only assume the pressure, angle or both combined let the blade slip out due to the weak spring. Guess I'll try to correct it on this or hunt another less used model to keep. Hope all have a great Wednesday !

Ah. No big deal keep shaving with the blade sticking out like that. It's actually an intended feature to help get into the hard to reach areas.

It might create some even harder to shave areas!
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

I know that is the side for the key to insert but the key should push the spring back and not effect the gap where the blade is held. That's the way I am seeing it and open to correction if I'm off on this.
Is there a gap when the blade is in there?

Looks like it's not holding the blade at all.

I have a Hussie and a Deb, but I have never tried to shave with one. I did try that stubbie K version though. One day..

Does that rectangle cover a pair of nuts  that will allow you to remove that top part? Then you could gently reshape it in a vice with soft jaws or something.
