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 !

You sure the blade was properly aligned in the first place? May have been just barely on one of the stops and let go.

Yep, totally aligned and behind both good stops. I specifically always check before but especially this one as I had cleaned it and installed a new blade when it first came in and it sat a bit. I checked just before the shave to be sure it was a new blade and installed well. Maybe I'll try a twin blade next time.
