Sounds like a pretty good idea, and it should be worth trying. I'll try it with my fat-handled Tech in the morning. i'll

I wonder how a small strip of electrical tape on both sides of the base plate near the razor's edge would do. It would be less than putting another blade shim under the existing blade, and if you needed to, 2 layers could be put on top of each other for an even greater change in blade geometry, and yet allow you to keep the threads reasonably tight so you wouldn't have to worry about the razor "opening up" more and causing unexpected nicks/cuts.

I don't care for the idea. I prefer a more aggressive razor properly screwed together.
