None of mine have any misalignments. Surely this one will be made right at Emporium and returned to the owner correctly assembled.That definitely doesn't look right at all. Although it's not uncommon for Toggles to have uneven blade gap and finding one without any such issues is very hard, this one looks pretty bad and I would definitely contact whoever worked on it to fix it.
You must be really lucky then, because Toggles in general are known to have the T bar tilted a bit in one or another direction and if I remember correctly, Toggles are supposed to be adjusted while the doors are closed, because the whole operating mechanism is different than the Fatboy, Slim and Super Adjustable.None of mine have any misalignments. Surely this one will be made right at Emporium and returned to the owner correctly assembled.
I’ve always considered the 1946 safety bar TTO to be the worst but was definitely surprised when 2 out of the 3 standard toggles that I’ve handled have had safety bar alignment issues that would affect the operation and shave. I think the heavier design probably plays a big part of that. It weights a solid 10% more than a Fatboy does and it’s definitely ergonomically a bit awkward.I've had one F4 and D1 gold Toggles and both had a tiny bit of misalignments and I've also heard of countless of people having the same issues to the point of considering it a normal thing when it comes to Toggles.

Not a great user piece for the faint of heart price wise, especially if someone is looking at a cheaper one thats seen some use.
OP @BlueBlades hasn't logged in for over 10 weeks.Any more word on how this ended up.
Saw that when I referenced this post in another thread and saw that it got bumped.OP @BlueBlades hasn't logged in for over 10 weeks.
I'd like to know the outcome as well, Dave.
