I have noticed that the diameters of the blade posts on the top cap of my 34C are just bit too small, and as a result it's easy to tighten the razor and have a mis-aligned blade. When I drop a blade onto the top cap, it can slide left or right by at least a millimeter or so.
Based on a suggestion here, I trimmed some thin electrical heat shrink tubing and stretched the pieces on the blade posts. This increases the diameter of the blade posts just enough to provide spot-on blade alignment (at least as far as I can see
It seems I shouldn't have to use a workaround like this to get solid blade alignment with a very popular razor. I bought it new in 2022 and am wondering if I got one from a defective lot.
1Has anyone else experienced blade alignment problems with this razor (or with a replacement top cap for this razor)?
