Not mild, frankly. He's getting down to business. New blades are hard to get in and they get extremely tight. Maybe , the safety razor was made for 3-hole and long slot razor blades.

That doesn’t sound ideal. What a shame. Such a lovely looking piece.

In blade terms, it looks similar to Wardonia razors, which used the long-gone "barrel" blades on round posts. To use modern DE blades in my Wardonias, I have to do some strategic snipping and cutting to get them to fit. It's a very stylish razor to look at; lovely plating condition.

Beautiful razor and a fairly unique piece of history.
