If I'm covering old ground apologies and please remove. I have a Schick type L1 incoming.

The Personnas are my favorite injector blades, I’ve used a boatload of them over the years. Just be careful injecting a blade that you don’t drag the edge across the blade stops. Also, the L is considered to be somewhat “mild” compared to the earlier models.

Many thanks for your input. Mild sounds like a good starting place to dip my toe in however I will take your advice on board regarding the mechanics of injecting the blade. Is it possible to ruin a blade during the process?
Absolutely. If it comes with a blade already installed it makes it a little easier, but, contrary to what a lot of folks believe, a new one can be injected into an empty razor with a little care.

If you can get your hands on adjustable m series injector it might be what you are looking for. It’s my personal favorite.
I mentioned it so you wouldn’t be surprised. I have a couple, including an L6 Easy Rider that belonged to my father in law, that I rarely use because I find them to be too inefficient
