Description
The Irving Barber Company makes a great folding shavette. However, there is a design flaw where if it's loaded with an Artist Club blade, the blade will hit the metal inside the scales. This tiny little spacer will snap onto the stop inside the frame and prevent that from happening.
This is a picture of the shavette closed with no blade.
This is closed with the blade installed. You can see where it's gaped open because of the blade hitting the frame.
This is with the spacer installed. The line on the tape shows gap between the blade and the frame.
And a final picture of the spacer installed onto the stop.
I advise printing the spacer with 50% infill for strength and durability.
