I didn't like having to pry the slide plate forward to get the Feather blade under the blade stops. So I thought I would experiment with a PAL SE blade.
I removed the spline, a very simple task, and snipped off the rear corner ears. I installed the modified blade. It slipped behind the blade stops WITHOUT any prying! There must be just enough difference in blade depth for it to work.
Forget the Feather. Go with a standard Gem SE blade. It's easy!
Edit: thanks Themba, for the instructions. I'm really delighted I get to use this razor.
