Good Sunday morning!
Got a good shave in, moving slow, still getting things done here.
Different pictures today, the shave was the same except for a few minor modifications.
1st....
The blade needed some rounding on the edges, found that out first couple strokes of the razor a few days ago.

Ok, that worked out fine.
2cd....
Now the blade rattled, for what ever reason. After careful inspection and comparisons of the original wedge blade, the "cure" was obvious. The clips that hold the blade in place work fine for the wedge blade. When using a Personna GEM type blade, the clips don't do it.
I Slightly, Carefully adjusted them to lay flat against the nase plate instead of raised. This keeps the GEM type blade more solid and in place.

3rd....
The blade will lay flat without removing the spine because of a bend in the base plate at the back to accommodate the wedge type blade.
All in all about 15 minutes of work.
If you look at filing the blade edged each time, that takes 1 minute, tops.
Now I have a 100+ year old razor that works great with modern replaceable blades.
And....
It shaves great!
Everyone
Enjoy!
