I was just loading a fresh blade in my razor for the morning shave and I noticed something that I'm certain is a problem. It looks like the safety bar may be bent or maybe there is something wrong under the doors? On one side, the blade runs the same distance from the safety bar along its entire length, but on the other side of the razor the blade touches the safety bar on one end and not on the other end. The end that the blade does not touch looks to have the same spacing as the side that the blade does not touch the safety bar at all. I checked settings 1-5 and the problem persisted. I didn't notice it before when I first started using the razor, but it explains the irritation and nicks I am constantly getting (at least partially).
So, the big question, can this be repaired? If so, is the risk of causing more damage greater than the possibility of a successful repair? It's my grandfather's old razor so I would really like to preserve it, and use it if possible.
Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.
