Apollo Mikron adjustment tool

I have an Apollo Mikron razor that I love. The calibration was off one-half digit, and I did not have the key that rotates the adjustment sleeve inside the handle. So I took a penny, placed it in a vice and cut off with a hacksaw a small portion of the penny on each side. It then fit the notches on the adjustment sleeve. I placed the razor on my makeshift key in the vice, turned it, and the calibration is now perfect: a setting of 1 with a loaded blade and the adjustment turned down to its mildest setting.

And the tool only cost me one cent!

Nice razor and great thinking on altering a penny to do the job.

Nice cheap fix

I always like to hear about these ingenious solutions. Nice work.

I'll you a nickel for one! I have another Apollo coming from the UK, cased but I don't think it has the adjustment tool...
