GEM PTFE Oneblade Modification

[Boycie83]

Well, let me give you those 5x scrapers I mentioned. They're new and still packed in cardboard around the blade so no health hazard! Just warning that if you do get it right and try to shave with one, you'll likely not enjoy it. Two facet, you see ... not the shaving three facet.

PM me your address.

Thanks Paul - PM sent

FFS! I kindly received some sample blades from @pjgh to practice with. Got the spines off with ease. Made my marks on the blades using an FHS-10 as a template and started with my nibbler. First notch - looking good - I reckon I can do this. Turns out a bit of the shard for stuck in the nibbler and when I've compressed the handle a second time, it sheared the head mechanism from the handle ..... cue total toys out the pram moment..... That's the end of that endeavour. It's not meant to be - I'll stick with the FHS-10 blades.

If you really want to top it, have an actual shave with one of those blades I sent you

Providence has spoken - that razor is called the 'One Blade' afterall!

... I guess there's always vintage VALET blades?

I will assume that by putting this in the DE forum this was not one of those.

I never even look at where something is, I use the "New Posts" thing at the top of the page.

Definitely not - I'm not even sure if the error was caused by sausage fingers or general incompetence!!

With that avatar you have no choice but to put it here.
