Do a Google for:
Feather Blade FHS-5 or FHS-10
Fits Valet and One Blade
Some places have them in stock.
Good shavers too!

That model Auto strop won't take the de-spined Gem blades. Either Feather or vintage valet blades with the cutouts will work.

I think I'd be nervous to try the "Sliding Diagonal Stroke" advertised with the Curley - just sounds like the same action I use to peel a potato or something!

This would have been my reply but you beat me to it. Originally Posted by Geezer

Yeah, noticed the odd cut outs/ spurs that hold the blade. Originally Posted by joamo

Your right, these stropping devices were in use when blades were made out of carbon steel. Using one now would remove the coating on the edge of the blade and make it even less effective. Originally Posted by 32t

Curley, The can take and hold a nice edge.
With the guard off the relief distance of the guard may be adjusted by rotating the end hardware before replacing it onto the razor.
