Magnetic Blade Carrier for Enders Razors

 I had made some blade carriers for my Enders shavers  so I could use injector blades in them. The Enders Speed Razors/Shavers were well made and designed razors. Unfortunately, no one makes blades for them anymore. Then I was introduced to someone who had made a magnetic blade holder that worked as well or better than my carriers. However, I cannot recall who made this nifty blade carrier.

My design used old Enders blades where the bevel was ground off and where I used JB Weld to make spots that would line up with the blade holes. It worked for a while, but eventually one of the wings on the blade holder would fail. 

Here is a better design that took more know-how and tools than I have. 

Black Label Blade held with magnets

Front with Black Label Blade

Back view with Black Label Blade

Back of carrier with blade

Like I said, I don't remember who made this carrier. It was a bit pricy, but now I can use any of my Enders razors with confidence and the blade of my choosing.
