I've had this razor since March 2010. Today, when I swapped out my blade after a shave, the bottom slipped out. Before I could catch it properly, the ring apparently intended to keep it locked into the razor body split.
I was using Mama Bear's Toasted Coconut soap, which I haven't used but once before. It worked fine when I was using Lime Ice, so I blame this all on Toasted Coconut. Or maybe it was the BIC blade I was swapping out. Yeah. Can't be Merkur, right? I mean, this is German engineering!
Seriously, who do I contact? Merkur or the vendor I got the handle from? Anyone else had this problem? I figure that, pending a fix, I can just put it back together and use it without the locking ring, but it shouldn't be able to come apart like this.
