November 2023 - Anchovie666 - 11-15-2023

Incoming - I read about a GEM Blade hack on Badger & Blade and it seems to work.  The GEM PTFE is against the blade stops so it may shave.  LOL  We shall see tomorrow morning.  It does have one original blade still in the wax paper wrapper, so I may eventually give that a try.

I've cut the blade and re-attached the spine in the past.  It works.

This hack you trim both bottom sides and then jam it down as far as you can into the bottom of the blade holder stops.
If this is a Fail tomorrow morning, I might try cutting one.  Or I have a Personna Injector blade that I put into a GEM spine ready to go too.  One way or the other the razor is being used again and that's what's cool.

Pretty good for a Rookie!!  Smile   If you ever have a chance could you post a pic with spine removed on your modded blade? And, it still seems to have greater depth than the the original Beasely blade. Does it still fit well at that depth?

How did this go for you? I may have tried some years ago, but I don’t believe I have yet used a modern blade in a Wilkinson razor of this type. I definitely am interested to hear how you are making out. I am ready to saddle up myself.  Thanks 



Beasely is watching to see if we pull it off.

All three of my Empire Razors have been doing Great with their blade modifications.  One is running a Sharp Injector blade, another is running a modified Feather AC blade and the third is running a GEM PTFE blade.  I like the GEM one the best but they are all shaving well.

I am now in with the cool kids and have modded a GEM SE to fit an Empire. Thanks for the info guys. I am interested in the other mentioned methods.

Thanks Wchnu. I gotta say I find all the apparatus and gadgets on the end of the handle of this elaborate looking beast to be rather like carrying firewood up a hill when shaving. It’s a lot of fun for the first couple of trips.

I also did finally see twhite’s measurement on this. I may have confused folks with my question to whiterook - but Im on top of it now.
