I've been enthused about the recent interest in Artist Club holders and blades. There are more postings in SOTD of RBSR's. Hopefully this new and renewed interest will cause others to consider. I know these holders are expensive, but there are inexpensive, less than $30, holders available including online barber supply outlets.

The new one @chazt has coming that accepts injector blades is of particular interest.

Todays shave consisted of two passes being mindful of my beard mapping. I didn't linger on one area and settled for a DFS. The AC Feather Super Pro has now been for 13 shaves. I can't decide, nor do I need to, if I prefer the Western folding type or Japanese Kamisori. Both are fun and effective.

Variety is the spice of life or so I am told 🙂

Any RBSR that accepts AC blades can be used with injector blades. I have only Personna injectors that are too harsh for my skin (the AS splash doesn't burn, it chars instantly:o_o:), and i'm waiting for anoportunity to order Proline B-20 blades so i can use my Schick adjustable without being charred by the AS lotion... I tried the Personna injector in all my clones and the DX, felt the best in the IBC shavette clone, but the effect on the skin was the same...

This is something I have been wondering and thinking about doing myself. Also I believe they can with some wiggling be inserted into a Sedef shavette too. I think I might try an injector shave soon... :thumbsup:

@Estariol if you’re referring to the white plastic dispensers, it’s been my experience that those Personna injector blades are not as sharp as the Prolines or sChick blades. Both are sharper and smoother than the Personna blades, my personal preference being the Prolines.

I hope you succeed with the Sedef. Been there, no success. Unfortunately the blades are too thick to slide them in all the way and tend to go out of the holder, and if you try prying the holder open, it will bend or stay open and won't be able to hold any blade tightly... Ruined one of the two i have with prying it open...

@chazt
Yup, those are the ones...

In that case I might try the clone and that just has the gripping mechanism - or maybe at some point one of the actual shavettes for injectors. Thanks for the pointers. It's very helpful not having to travel down the routes you have travelled and refind out your conclusions. Cheers.

This is the one @chazt has coming. I just noticed and extension that appears to cover the blade corners. Vanta RA111 Shavette, White — Maggard Razors
