Interesting knobvariation @benedetto
Idk what to even do with it, and it's preventing me from finally trying aLicence Palmer. Do I have the only complete set then? I doubt it, bit who knows. Really want translated instructions to at least know what "L" actually is. I guess it goes under the blade?It is bloody interesting, is what it is. None of my three réglables came with one. You'd almost think it ought to be attached to the spring, making sure the blade is lifted equally everywhere. I'd love to find out more about this. Would love finding one even more.
My comment was tongue in cheek regarding "complete set". Someone just commented on Facebook they think it's a cut down baseplate from another razor, used as a shim... good theory! I will investigate that piece further.L is Lame, French for blade. The instructions in my NOS set do not say anything about your shim-like thingy.
I don't think you have the only complete set, I do believe you have a very interesting set. Either early on they discovered your shim-thingy was unnecessary, or they really did produce a shim.
Upon inspection, there is brassing completely along the side edges. It is remarkably precise if it was a diy though. I'm going with it pending further decisive input...That might actually be a valid explanation.
Here's what that looks likeAnother plausible suggestion, maybe more plausible than shimming an adjustable that goes zero to .5" blade gap, was "multiblade"...
Blade, "shim", blade...think I'll give it a go. Or at least look at the setup.
