Hi all.
I've a Darwin DE in which is very hard to get a blade on and even harder to remove the blade.
I came across the below Darwin DE - not mine, one I've found for sale - and noticed the blade pins are halved, or look cut in half or a little more than half. The blade pins on the one I do own, are not like this and are fully rounded pins.
My question is, which is it supposed to be? How is yours? Did mine get through manufacture without being finished?
It doesn't affect the shave, I just wish loading and unloading the blade on mine wasn't such a chore. I just know I'm going to slice my finger off one of these days. It's almost as if I have to stretch the blade to get it to go down on both pins. And when I finally do get it onto both pins, it's warped a bit until I tighten it down and that straightens it out. If mine had half pins like the one in the photo below, I think the blade would fit perfectly.
So yes, how is yours? Full rounded pins or half pins?
