Is that a rolling safety bar? Love it. It will not have the automatic angle of the MM. I do not think that is a problem. What is the weight like?

How is the shaving angle supposed to be? Is the "hump" (-what hump? 😆) supposed to guide it by touching the face?

Very interesting Tom. Can't wait for more updates.
What program did you use for your design, Solidworks? I use AutoCAD at work.

I still can't see the adjustment in my head, but my brain hasn't had enough caffeine yet today. A short video might help to understand. The hump is ... ermmm ... very distinctive... Petrvs - I think it would have to touch your face, but I may be mistaken. The whole design screams 'do me in sheet metal', but that's just me being nostalgic...

Petrvs - I think it would have to touch your face, but I may be mistaken. The whole design screams 'do me in sheet metal', but that's just me being nostalgic... You are correct. The hump rests slightly n your face. That is the big question for me. Is the angle correct for a smooth shave. I need to shave and find out. As for the adjustment. It is a simple bell crank design. I when You move the leaver, it pushes the slider. (That is the piece that the blade attaches to) forward or back. Thus increasing the blade exposure. The blade gap remains constant. I will rework the slider later this week, to accept the proper blades. Sheet metal would work on the cap. The body and slider needs to be billet. Tom

Thus increasing the blade exposure. The blade gap remains constant. Simple for you I had to google it. I now have an - accurate or not - idea in my head. Thanks. Sheet metal would work on the cap. The body and slider needs to be billet. I'm always amazed what the Kampfe brothers, Jeremiah Reichard, August Scheuber, Julius Bueno de Mesquita and others thought possible with sheet metal in the olden days before CNC. Having said that - I'm dreaming of convincing someone I know (a material science guy) to pour me a razor from concrete... he keeps going on about how wonderful modern, cutting edge concretes are You pick any material you like, Tom.

This is most impressive! You are obviously a pretty handy fella in a shop. I myself am getting pretty good at cutting clothes hangers with pliers. : /
This looks like a promising design for an adjustable. I gather that the blade deck will slide forwards/back and then be tightened with the set screw? Seems like a good idea to set the depth needed. I can see now that as it is it would have a rather aggressive gap for shaving at this point. Adjustment forward would be very handy.
I wonder about the height of the cap? You have designed it with a lot of head room in the cap but I imagine it could be considerably lower, allowing the frame to travel closer to the face when necessary.
It would be fascinating to try something generated out of your mind Tom. I'm looking forward to seeing much more about this amazing project! I imagine you were not highly thrilled when you realized the differences in the blade you used for the original set up?
