Blade gap question, Gillette Slim

[fast14riot]

Hey all, my old, ugly slim has developed an uneven blade gap at all settings. If someone could give me accurate measurements of settings 3,4,5,6 with either an Astra SP or Feather blade that would be great.

Thanx!

Seriously? No one here owns a slim and a set of calipers or shim guages?


Go figure....

From side to side, or front to back?

I had many issues before un even gaps, it may be the result of many factors. I remedy the issue with a flat head screw driver and tape. Just tape the ends of the doors to prevent maring, then gently twist the screw driver until you see the bar get even. Gently twisting ......

No gauges or calipers? What we do have is this:http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/Double-Edged_Safety_Razors_Ranked_by_Blade_Gap

I have a problem with mine where one bar is not the same size as the other - one may be .66 and the other .71.
How can I fix this?

The bars appear even.

Use the screw driver technique, but in increments until you reach the desired setting. The other way would require more dis-assembly which may be tedious for some.
