I posted a while back about some razors I bought off eBay when I was just getting into wetshaving. The razor on the right (picture below) is some sort of Gillette adjustable razor. I always have a hard time with it, because it opens really far if I'm not too careful (the knob seems to be loose), and it slips out of my hands so easily (used to my Merkur long handle), but I get a fantastically BBS shave with it when I pop in a Derby.
So, my questions are:
>> What kind of beast am I dealing with?
>> Is there a way to tighten down this knob?
>> Is there a way to make this more "non-slip"?
I imagine some sort of rubber band could be used to solve questions 2 and/or 3, but I'm not quite sure how. I'm more open to solutions that don't make the razor look ugly, of course.
Thanks in advance -
Daniel
