Yes. Insert the injector key as if to load a new blade. Pull the slider all the way back and let new blade pop up. Push the new blade forward only about a quarter-inch, and the old blade will start to come out the other end. Grab it with a pair of appropriate pliers and pull it out. Pull the slider all the way back again, use tip of ball-point or similar tool to retract the new blade back into box, push the blade stack down and return the slider back to original position. Remove injector key.Is there a way to remove a blade without inserting a new blade?
I would NOT boil it. For final disinfecting, get something like Barbicide or Marvicide or similar at a Sally Beauty supply, or ask your barber.Thanks, Fritz. Your suggestion worked, I got the (rusty) blade out. E model seems to be right, Straight Arrow. The patent number matches.
Next question...any precautions when cleaning it? Don't want to mess up that Bakelite handle.
I also have a blue box type E. If you're REALLY careful you can swivel the spring around to completely open up the head. You can then clean the inside properly...
I got to this point:
I got the old blades out and cleaned them well, but I can't get the spring to close back up on either of these Injectors? I figure there is something simple that I'm missing. Any suggestions?
i have E, a I and a J intjectors, they give decent good shaves, DE shaves are better,
I was able to get a small screwdriver under one side of the tang and pop it in place on both razors. I was worried about scratching the brass, but it looks OK. I don't know how you could just not clean in there, it was pretty nasty.
