I tried inserting a blade backwards into my Flying Wing, and it fits great! The tabs just need to be lined up manually.

This way I can just put it in my bag and not have to think about the blade – especially useful for the trip home after the blade has been unwrapped.

This can only be accomplished with the cardboard wrapper removed, so it’s yet to be seen if there’s any metal-on-metal contact with the edge enough to alter the shave. I’ll find out tomorrow!

    Remember, starting with the second gen MMOC, GEM marketed spineless double edge Micromatic blades. So don’t worry about this:

    yet to be seen if there’s any metal-on-metal contact with the edge

    It’s literally designed to only engage with the cut outs and hit with the edge.

    Good idea. Now if only this would let me take one through TSA!
