Actually I should change that description in my Shave Buddy app. Based on an advertisement it is the Peerless set, not the razor itself. Sorry for the confusion!
No problem at all. I wonder if the British razor I have in that picture is a Peerless model. I'm not sure but I saw a new old stock one for sale that looked like it. Peerless was printed on the box.

The razor was designed for blades with a thicker spine that also didn't have the notches on the sides. So the new blades rattle around if the shim isn't used in the razors current condition. It would be unusable without it or tweaking the tabs inside risking breaking it. I wanted to shave with it at least a few times before thinking about risking breaking it.
Not a shim but a adapter. I like that.... I will put the brick away....for now....
What a relief. I'll have to be more careful with my wording in the future.
