I always thought it was funny how light the handle of my R89 was, but i'm not really laughing now...
Over the last 6 years, I haven't been so diligent about cleaning the gunk out of the threads where the razor head screws into the handle, and lately it had gotten quite firm when removing the head to change blades.
Well, last week, the head came right off the handle, threads, ferrule and everything, leaving me with just the hollow tube handle and the ferrule seized to the razor head.
I guess I have two questions --
1) What have you used to reattach ferrules? I'm thinking hot melt glue, but am open to other ideas.
2) How do i do a good job of cleaning the threads on the razor head/ferrule once i get them unseized?
Cheers and thanks
