Thanks, Tom! One of the things about most shaves is that the adjusters aren’t especially good, so I tend to set them up once when I get it, and then just advance the blade a skosh when I put it back after sharpening, but otherwise leave it the same.

It was also interesting to see that the Stanley I first bought has a blade so much thinner than all the others, except for the small Gordon plane, which has less than a third the width. I think I might be able to make that more usable with a Hock blade and then replacing the screw with a larger thumbscrew so I don’t have to hunt down my side chip-breaker screwdriver (which lives in the plane-sharpening box since that’s when it’s needed) just to adjust the shave.

May you have the day you deserve!
