Well, I will admit while I do like shiny things, most of my razors are indeed user grade.

I had my first shave with my frankenrazor, the Gem Damaskeene OC. The cap I put on it is a little loose when closed, but it posed no problem. The shave was very smooth and was a delight. I used both the Proraso menthol pre-shave and TSD Iced Lime for this Menthol Monday. At this point, I don't see any reason to replate this razor. It seems perfect the way it is.

As long as the tab at the back holds the blade firmly forward the cap doesn't matter. 1912 style razors will work just fine with the cover removed.

As long as te bade is not moving around the cover not a big issue. I think twhite has posted how to fix the lose head....maybe. Kudos on the not plating. Looks great as is!!

Second shave with the Damaskeene OC Frankenrazor. It is a very efficient machine. Tabac Tuesday was a wonder. Veddy, veddy nice shave indeed.

I used my OC Dammy A few days ago. I normally am not a big fan of mild razors. The OC Dammy is the exception. I love the way it feels on my face.
If anybody gets a chance to try one. I say go got it.
By the way, I do have an extra to loan out. Just saying.

Speaking of Frankenrazors, I have a Damy that has a flat top, exactly like my 1912. I thought I read that the top on a Damy is curved. Could my Damy have a been Frankenrazored work a 1912 top?
