Good review.

It's pretty easy. Takes only a few seconds.
I use a different tool (simple combination pliers) and grip twice, at each end of the spine, and wiggle, but the video shows that it is not complicated.

Thanks. Is it just the Gem blades or any SE?
Are there others? I've only tried it on the Pesonna GEM blades.

I've got boxes of others but not sure they are gem. They look the same so can't think why they would work as well

You don't need to use a heavy overkill tool to remove the spine...All you need to Do is slip a small screw driver or knife under one corner to prise it a bit an then pull it off...

I got the spine off ok, but I can't them locked into the oneblade at all, just rests on the front stops

I don't think they will 'click' in place like the feather blades do. There's a video over on the DFS forum showing the despined blade being loaded. I'm out and about on my phone but if you're interested - and haven't seen it yet - I can link to it later today.

Yeah, that would be good.
I just use some pliers, grab the spine and wiggle the blade up and down. I just realised that the process is reversible. The de-spined GEM that was in the OneBlade this morning is now re-spined and waiting for tomorrow morning in a 1912

Very useful thanks DB. Of course, I need to wait for the gash on my thumb to heal when I removed the spine - seriously, I don't know how I manage to shave seeing as I only have to look at a blade and I seem to cause a cut somewhere about my person.
I did say de-spining is not for everyone

Maybe it should be renamed the TwoBlade.
