Easily answered - the blades that Alan sent me are actually marked "Apollo spetzial-schliff 0.13mm".Arrowhead said:Interesting ... you wouldn't by any chance be able to quote a thickness for the old blades would you, Anthony?

I don't have an instrument capable of measuring a modern blade but I daresay someone does.

Obsessive - Moi?Arrowhead said:All of the sample I've measured are 0.1mm. Which suggests that Anthony's shim is raising the centre of the new blade way beyond where it would be with the carbon ones
hunnymonster said:It'd be a surprise if a modern set of budget calipers has more than 10 ticks on it's Vernier scale, and that's before I comment on the accuracy/calibration of it...
1 to 10 is probably overkill, I think going up to 9 would be more than sufficient, or theyy could sell preset ones, like with colour coding or something? That would be greatRev-O said:If only Gillette had made an adjustable - imagine one where they baseplate can be raised or lowered by clicking a collar with presets - maybe even marked 1-10.
And then imagine if they did it in two version: a short "Fat" one with the old style SS head and a longer, "Slim" one with the later shallower domed head.
Wow! I'd buy one of those!
