Gillette Slim Quarter Turn Question

Hi all, new to this forum and I have a question. How tight should the quarter turn be on a Gillette Slim TTO? the one I have feels a bit "grindy" and tight. I soaked it for a day in water and soap and it did not seem to loosen it up too much. Should I try a mineral oil soak to help the mechanism glide better?

Thanks all for your feedback and comment
 
Try a few drops of mineral oil. Open the doors and add the oil leave razor upright so oil flows down. Worked great for me. Every now and then work the mechanism.

I'm always amazed that vintage adjustables still work so well to this day, especially given the gunk that they've often been put through in their lifetime.

Yeah. The mechanism gives you a bit of trouble here and there, but the shave is just too smooth to give up.
