Butterscotch Injector is dragging

[ElliotR]

The totally awesome Kona Kruiser recently sent me TWO injectors (he threw in one for FREE!) - the adjustable is smooth as silk (and my new FAVORITE SE) but the butterscotch one just feels SCRATCHY like the blade is dragging - it's a brand new blade. It's not TOO AGRESSIVE - no cuts, no scratches, no weepers - just feels like the blades is dragging regardless of angle, pressure.

Any ideas? Is the blade gettting scratched as I am injecting it?

Is the bottom cap tight against the blade?

Does it look like the head is tweaked (been dropped)?

I would check the things turtle is asking about first. Also, when you put the new blade in, was there still an old blade in the razor or was the razor empty? If you load a blade into an empty injector razor there's a pretty good chance that the cutting edge will get dinged up on the way in. If this is the case, try another new blade and see how that goes.

Good idea - no there was no blade in it - it was empty - will try a new blade Weds am and see what happens

New blade was answer! Much nicer shave

It doesn't take much to booger up the edge on one of the stops.
