Tedolph I'm not an idiot. And no, de-spined Gem blades will not work in this razor. They only work in the first generation OneBlades. Subie Shaves on YouTube said they could be hacked, so I tried his method, but it did not work as claimed. It bowed the blade, making it ineffective. No matter. I could not get one good shave out of a Feather FHS-10 blade. This is not a razor or blade for coarse beards.
Easy Draebeard-no one is calling you an idiot. I have one of the early ones and I have used a de-spined GEM blade (I like Feathers better). It is easy to get the spine off if you squeeze the rear end with a needle nose pliers-it pops right off. So, it was reasonable for me to make that suggestion. Thanks for correcting me with your personal experience.
I have a tough beard and it works OK for me. I just prefer a single edge where I can control the angle, but it is a good razor if you need a quick shave.
As I said, no offense was intended or implied. Can we be friends?
