    Thanks brit. This was my second shave with it. The first wasn't great and I thought there may be something wrong with it. I guess it was just the blade. I used a Nacet(2), my usual go to blade and was shocked at how hard it was to get a smooth shave. Tried it again with the Feather and was very happy with it.

    make sure the knob is tight and check blade alignment.they are usually smooth shavers.the 48-51 is said to be more efficient than the smoother 46-7 version.i passed on my 1950 set as i liked my 46-7 more..try riding the cap a bit to dial it in..good luck..

    I think I may have figured out the problem. It looks like the hinge point on on of the doors may be bent a little causing it to bind a little. When I close the doors, I can gently push the door fully closed closer to the center bar. Then when I open it, it kinda hangs. The door doesn't open all the way with just the knob, I have to give it a little assistance.
