I have been wanting to shave with this razor ever since I bought it months ago, but it is too wide for a standard blade. I cut an AC blade to size and fashioned an adapter from one of those flexible plastic rulers. It needs more work, but I decided to give it a try today. It was a mild shave with lots of feedback. Perhaps the blade needs to come forward a bit. I made my third ATG pass with my Parker Injector.
They remained primarily a s######t razor company until their end, so not many. I can't find much more than what's in Waits.

Looks like you are using a wedge adapter. Can the razor be used with an unmodified gem blade?
Also you might need to edit your post to say unmentionable.

Gem blades are not wide enough. I had to cut an AC blade to length and make my own adapter.
