Modern injector razor?

[TRS]

I'm thrilled with my injector razors ( B1, E, G and PAL Injectomatic) , but I really like the minimalist design of the AC razor heads (Vector, Excalibur/Romulus/Remus, Tatara Amakuni, Shield AC) . I wonder why no one makes a similar head for an injector blade? Or have I been looking in the wrong place?
3D printing is a bit different, I'm interested metal.

This is an astonishingly good razor. Get one while you can.

Thanks for the tip. I've been looking at and reading about this razor - it seems like a glorious successor to the tradition of injector razors. But looking at it, I don't hear the voice "you absolutely must buy it" in my head. It's a beautiful razor, but conceptually, geometrically, and technically, it's standard and doesn't offer a "new look". If I had to choose between it and vintage razors I'm still choose the vintage one ( still want the F type and, if I'm lucky, the D type). By "new look," I meant specifically the concept of the miniature heads of AC razors (I think they can be collectively called the Vector style), but only for the injector blade ( without using a key.)

The thing is, is anything being produced that rivals the vintage Schick or Pal? If I were going to spend $100, I would invest in the rare Schick models.

You can’t make a Vector style razor with an injector blade as there isn’t a hole in the middle. Someone could make one in the style of the Amakuni though, and when they do I’ll be waiting with my money.

The Asylum is different as it has a bit of mass behind it unlike the very lightweight injectors - it makes a difference and feels even smoother.

I love vintage razors and unusual vintage razors. I have several interesting razors, as well as a large collection of photographs of unusual razors. Considering the many technical solutions and unusual designs I've seen, I can say "Nothing is impossible". In fact, the Amakuni design is the simplest for using whith injectior blade. There are several other options in my head and on paper that don't use magnets. And it's not as difficult as it might seem.
Now, I have one idea (with an injection blade) that I want to implement, given my limited technical capabilities and a small budget.

I decided to make a disassemblable safety razor for injector blades with minimal expense. Someday, I'll definitely make an injector razor with a minimalist design like the Vector, Excalibur/Romulus/Remus, Tatara Amakuni, Shield AC . But for now, I made this razor for practice. I used a new Chinese razor BIG ROC BR-2001 as a donor, presumably a copy of a Merkur 23C or a Merkur 34HD. According to reviews from colleagues on a forum in my country, surprisingly, the razor works very well. And considering its price $2.65, the choice was obvious. In a few hours, on my knee and with the simplest hand tools, I made this razor. It has a very light head of 19 grams and a heavy handle of 51 grams. A test shave on my arm showed that I should try shaving my face.
So, a review will be coming soon.

Production on the knee

It was time to test it. I had a five-day stubble on my face.
I installed my trusty blade Schick Injector Plus Chromium , prepared a set of attachments for adjusting the blade exposure , and began shaving. Without the attachments, the razor refused to shave. It cut hair, but many hairs remained intact, and overall, it felt more like a "jelly" than a razor. I started installing different attachments; some had few, others had many. Experimenting, I found the optimal balance between blade feel and effectiveness, but I didn't like the shave. No matter how I adjusted the angle, the shave was rough, tense, and abrupt.
I didn't like the glide; it wasn't sufficient. I managed to shave DFS , but I suffered a couple of nicks and skin irritation. The "shaving" sensation on my skin was strong, and the lotion stung a lot.

If we consider the overall concept of the razor, it is quite successful.. The razor is easy to control and maneuver, the weight shift toward the handle didn't bother me, and I liked the head size.

Overall, I consider the experiment a success because it gave me creative pleasure!

I suspect the angle is off. My first Schick E2 had been bent straight and I was ignorant of the original design. I looked on eBay for examples and found the correct angle thus rendering a perfect result.

I think I'll experiment with this razor a little more; I have another idea. I might even change the blade angle or something like that.

This thread has made me curious about modern models such as the vintage Pal, Parker, and Supply. The Supply has an open comb design. Anyone with experience able to compare or review?
