Thanks for the heads up, excuse my ignorance I’ve not used shims so where to put the shim and what should I use?
cheers Alan

Thanks everyone for the advice on shimming its opened up a whole new range of possibilities for me on my wet shave journey.@NotTheStig has already answered, but I'll chime in with my approach.
If you have a whetstone, you can grind off the cutting edges of a used DE blade to get a nicely even shim.
Pop it in-between the blade and the base plate.
For razors with lots of blade flex (not the case with the Feather, as I remember it), you could sandwich a blade between two shims.
You could also try a thinner paint of lather - the extra blade feel it's likely to provide should help keep the angle. Considering the sweet spot for efficiency with the Feather is pretty narrow, it might be worth a try.
