I was cleaning a safety razor today a Gillette super speed when the side plate came off. Does anyone know how to put it back on?

Happened to me earlier this year on my red tip. Some say you could just glue it back. But I didn't bother since it didn't affect the shave at all. It's still usable.

Dab of epoxy will get it there. Super glue may work as well.

Will it hold? I am thinking super glue.
Gorilla glue. Strong enough for the toughest jobs on planet Earth.

Lol great commercial. I will try it. Thanks
Epoxy should work. Good for bonding metals. Resists most everything.
Just solder it back on.
Exactly, clean up old, dull gray solder a bit, apply some flux to the end of the head and the end tab. Heat up the end of the head, add a bit of solder, let it cool. Secure the end cap onto the newly soldered end of the head with a pair of pliers, add heat, enjoy.

That's Right! Do it correctly by re-soldering it. It's easy with a dab of flux, place the end cap in place, then heat up with a flat untinned soldering iron tip.
Sure it will hold ... for a while. It will come as a big surprise when it does let go & you see your hard-to-find endcap swirling down the sink drain. Do it right with solder!
+2! Voice of experience!
Did they just use soft solder?

I have no idea what they used. I was cleaning it and I must have used the brush too hard on it.
I find either gaffa tape or zip ties hold most better than others but might not apply in this situation .
