The modern blade with adapter shaved quite well in this beautiful old razor. It was a tight fit though. The vintage Williams soap lathered quickly and abundantly with the Zenith boar brush. Aqua Velva finished off this fantastic shave.

I can not tell from the picture for some reason. Does this razor use the screws to adjust for the blade or is it spring loaded?

Yes sir. The screws are near the back edge of the razor. Here is a side view picture.

   

 And one I drew an arrow pointing out the screw. They are in a much different setup than my 1887 Kampfe Bros Star.

I had a fantastic shave with my Pat. 1900 Kampfe Bros Star today. The mixed badger boar brush performed quite well with Wickham Irish Fern.

I had a fantastic shave with the Henckels Rapide razor today. Such a wonderful razor. This soap has an intoxicating scent, and leathers very well. The patina is looking lovely on the Zenith Boar.

That is one of my all time razors. Beautiful shave.

It's one of my top favorites also. Thanks for sharing the wealth and selling it to me. The box you made for it is fantastic.
