Covered in my video, these older ones have no as in zero blade stop so Modern Gem blades slide right thru. I have an assortment of 3D printed wedges for different razors such as this one needs to function. My newer as in @1906 Star has stops and performs fine with no wedge.

PS I just happened into the thread and never got a notification of being quoted. Not the first time recently for this.....

Thanks, Dave.  I have about eight lather catchers and all have stops, including a STAR going back to at least 1900.  As for the lack of a notification on being quoted, it seems you're not the only one: https://damnfineshave.com/thread-i-m-not...hen-quoted.  You might want to add your concerns in the thread and let andrewjs18 know.  I definitely received a notification because you quoted me here.

Not sure when they added the stops but this predates them.

I'm not an AC blade fan but thought this hack was worth a try as I don't have much luck with the Personna pathology blades for the Durhams. '38 patent Durham safety razor, Schick Proline P notched to fit , with SIM card shim. Pretty good shave, I'd set less exposure in the future.
