Let's see whether the attachments fix in lemmy is already live on this instance. If not, you'll have to look at this reply on mastodon

Edit: alas, doesn't seem to work. Check the video out here: https://wetshaving.social/@djundjila/113544935341588382

Very cool, thanks for the video!

Is there something that pushes along the spine of the blade in these razors, or do they just sit on the plate once you close the head?

Not sure I understand. That leaf spring in the centre of the top cap (the one that pokes through the hole in the top cap) pushes on the spine. Is that what you're asking?

Yes I think so. I was wondering what mechanism keeps the blade pressed up against the blade stops up front.

Similar to how my clog-pruf mechanism slides forward after hinging closed, pressing the blade forward against the stops.
