I guess it will work ok without the washer Chris but as you probably are aware the head stub thread that the handle attaches to isn’t circular. It’s a threaded flat stub so that the GEM blade which has a central slot can be fitted over it. The head needs to be loaded and handle tightened carefully so as not to cross the thread. Difficult to describe what I mean here but to me it doesn’t give the same snugness as you would get for example from a normal DE handle/head fit up. AlanI think washer is just there to stop the handle marking the underside of the plate. You shouldn't need to use it if you don't want to.
Lovely looking brush, Andy.

Prep: Hot towel |
Razor: Weber ARC |
Blade: Polsilver (Lodz) 1 |
Brush: Rooney Heritage 2XL Jade |
Soap: Gentleman’s Nod: Ernest ( C4 ) |
Post: CeraVe moisturising lotion.. |
Fragrance: Tabac Vert a truly wonderful shave.. the 'Nod' really is an 'elite' level soap, and the Lodz Pollie gives such a smooth shave.. it really is a shame that it can no longer be found, and wIth the demise of the Polsilver S.I, my stash of both will hopefully keep me going for a few years.... |
Just the same with the Blackland Sabre, got to be careful when threading the handle on, it's basically the same design.I guess it will work ok without the washer Chris but as you probably are aware the head stub thread that the handle attaches to isn’t circular.
