    Great job John, but what are you going to do with it? Shave your legs?

    It's in the SOTD thread, for today. I'm going to get some old vintage blades off Ebay next month & try one more time. If no good, she will become a show piece.
    Wierd??? I just picked up some Gem blades at CVS. They are fine. CVS brand, but Gem on the inside. Walgreens usually carries them too. If you have a utility blade, it should have been pulling at least. Some old Gems need the blade moved forward, try that???

    I don't know what you mean by moved forward; it seems like there was a slot that held the blade in only one position.
    I will reexamine the setup tonight.
