If I use an unmentionable razor and only use one side of the blade can I mention it here?

Just kidding. Those double-edged-single-edge blades were well cool.
I've never seen them in shavable condition, so good on you.

A few notes:
- Those blades are the reason later Micromatics have bumps on the blade-holder because those blades aren't propped up by the spine but by the bumps.
- What if I have a proper SE razor that takes proper unmentionable blades. Is that mentionable?

My East-German Golf-71 (which unfortunately doesn't hold its unmentionable blade firmly. Designed by bearded Stalinists I think)

I have some older injector blades that I have yet to try. Maybe I’m missing out?

Sharp and long lasting is the reason.
