Where there's a will, there's a way!
I decided to make the L5 work, given that I like its architecture. Today I put 2 shims under the blade. Comfortable, smooth, close shave. My usual 1 and 3/4 passes resulted in a DFS+
I read that it is a Tech model clone. Now I understand that there is many variations, but were the original this smooth? Are there any faithful modern reproductions?
