Am sure many members have read/heard of the Fergie Billy Shim. The purpose of which is to make a modern Gem Blade , more like the older blades which have a thicker spine.
I have used a full spine in the older Razors, and a 1/2 Spine in both the ER 1914 & 1924. For me the 1914 is transformed into a real smooth & agile shaver, with which top notch shaves can be achieved.
The 1924 with an added shim , becomes a much smoother shaver, but still needs handling with care.
I wonder how many other subscribers have tried the use of a Shim , and whether or not they found it to improve the performance of the Razor ?
