As requested by Buffalo, I have completed the disassembly video of the Gillette Black Handled SS. Enjoy!

The only razor I have ever damaged during a disassembly is a Wizamet 11, given to me by golenia_pl. I've never harmed any Gillettes however. This is largely due to the information that has been provided to the community long before I joined.How many, if any, have you broken? Any trial and error curve here? I only have one of each. And I have already ruined a pristine E1 flare tip with only scrubbing bubbles. Didn't need more than hot soap and water!! I'm still bitter. If I broke a fat boy I would be furious.
Thank you!Nice post.
Good luck! Watch out for them red tips et al. They have ears that prevent removal. You have to bend them in.Glad to see this razor put to good use.now to build the equipment to start cleaning my own.
Yes sir.Is that a zyliss vice?
Cool! Thanks for the tutorial.
Alright, it does look look like the T-bar is bent, like you mention. When I look for bent t-bars, I don't look at the top or the blade gap itself, I look below the safety bars and you can see that the rounded part of the hinge is sticking down far more on one side than the other. I edited one of your photos to illustrate this:One of my super speeds is bent. I think it's the t-bar, but I'm not sure what the best way to bend it back would be. Here are some pictures of it.View attachment 501989View attachment 501990View attachment 501991
I'd say! It should be a very nice starter Superspeed for a new wet shaver!WOW! That came out great CAP!
It is an F4!What year is that Flare Tip so I can pass that info along for the PIF?
Compliments of Rasputin!A CAP special PIF. This should draw the crowd.
