Hi there guys i got this razor for about two weeks ago, it has a lazy door but i think i know Y? the razor is slightly bend. i saw this Wyle i was cleaning the razor and that could be y the one door does not open all the way. Can any one please help with this , how i can get it back to beaning straight again.

i would say that i has about a 5 degree bend on it , could be less.

Thank You

Send a PM to cooncatbob, I suspect that he can easily repair it. Otherwise, you may be able to take it apart and straighten out the rod on the inside of the razor. If the razor unscrews, you can do it with a slotted tool that would fit the head of the screw in the bottom of the razor. It may, from what I can understand, be a left handed thread so it will loosen clockwise. Once you have it apart, the rod should be very easy to straighten out.

This has a Rocket TTO knot though, so there's no hole where you can put a screw driver/any other slotted tool at the bottom.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone take a Rocket TTO apart.
What do you mean by bent?

A Lazy door is usually caused from a end cap that is bent inward on one end.

Now that's something I wouldn't have figured out - Thanks!

I saw there is no screw on it so wont be able to open it, the head is leaning over to the one side , so the one side is upper and the other lower
