I don't think you killed it. Like you, I place a value on historical items. I posted a thread earlier today about repairing a damaged GEM, though it didn't get much attention. If interested, it's:

Seems to be alive to me. If I ever get a shot at that razor I'll take it

That razor is a one off. But you can make your own. Just find a razor with missing blade stops and remove the comb, but leave the corners that had the stops. Easy. The first one I modified was a 1912, but I like the OCMM SEvette much more. BTW, I didn't invent the SEvette. I only heard of it and made my own. Please don't do this to a working razor. They don't make those vintage SE razors anymore and it would be a shame to destroy an intact razor.

I used the bunny razor as a SEvette, since the combs are interchangeable, I just removed the comb. Shaved quite nice like that. If I come across a broken SE on the bay I'll have to get it to try this out

Just had my first shave with the Schick Adjustable. Had an excellent and close shave, but setting 3 was far too mild for me since I needed a lot of cleanup and extra strokes to get the closeness I have been spoiled with. Onto setting 5

For me, setting 5 is ideal. I never move it from there and get easy BBS shaves. I'll be interested to know how that works out for you. Smile

I'll post the findings here. Assuming the higher settings workout I'll probably give the highest setting a shot. We shall see

Well had the second Schick Adjustable shave this morning. Used setting 5, had a much closer shave than yesterday and only did 2 passes. I did get more irritation on my neck and jawline though. Will use it again on this setting for my next shave. I'll probably skip tomorrow and shave off 2 days of growth

whiteboy_cannon I just had my second shave on my adjustable. First time I went at a 5, tonight I went at a level 6. I had just got done doing my first ever SE shaves with my Schick I1 and was trying to find that next step up in aggression.  The heads look very similar but the longer handle and shape has given me a little trouble. I had shaved 9 times with the I1 and thought I had the angle down but it's like starting over with the adjustable. Due to my schedule my last two shaves I had 2 days growth. I might drop it down tomorrow just to see what it does on the lower setting. Had a really good shave tonight but what's  the point of having an adjustable if you can't play around with different settings. Tongue

Good luck with your next shave hope it works better for you.

If you want an aggressive injector that is not an adjustable the Schick E types are great. I think they may be more aggressive than the Schick Adjustable on its highest setting. And they have the comfortable shorter handle.
And thanks! I'm definitely skipping tomorrow's shave, I pet a cat earlier then touched my neck. This was a big mistake as my neck and upper chest broke out in hives. My car allergy isn't usually that sensitive, but it happened. The neck is still a little inflamed from the reaction and very sensitive
