Uneven Blade?

I have acquired quite a few Gem razors one of which is a Minuteman (travel razor). I have not used this particular razor yet but I have noticed something a bit odd about it. One of the blade stops is smaller (not worn down) it seems to have been made a bit thinner and slightly smaller. Hopefully, you can see the slightly uneven blade alignment in the pictures. Where the thinner blade stop is located there is a bit more blade exposure.

Does anyone have a razor similar to mine? I don't know if this will affect the razor performance? Is this a bit common with single edge razors? I apologize for the lack of quality in the photos but my camera is not the best.

bent blade stop? : )

I thought so too but it looks like one of the blade stops is just thinner and smaller then the other. The stop doesn't look worn down though. I have since posting the difficult to answer post used the Minuteman. A smooth great shaver I was concerned about it but it didn't effect the shave at all. Thanks for your input! :biggrin1:
