i like feather as-is,the way it shaves,just don't like to fiddle for even exposure,shim will increase gap and exposure,not make it easier to align.not as bad as b&b post says,nothing gets torqued,just slight uneven exposure until you fiddle,tyvm i like progress,but zamak so would like nice razor in ss,feather is ss,but i thought for that money wld be made better.like everyone,can shave with what i have,but some razors better than others.isn't that what hobby is about?lol,tyvm
