I have a couple of British Gillette safety razors. I think they are either Aristocrat Jrs. or Rockets. But they have patent number 430, 030. The rivet that holds the razor head to the handle has come loose causing the razor head to turn in circles on the handle. My question is; is this very common for these types of razors to have this defect, or are only a few razors affected? Or will they all eventually do this with wear and tear?
Question about handle defects in British razors.

I don't think it's common at all. None of the razors I've got have had that happen.
None of my dozen or so Brits ( Rocket , Rocket HDs, Aristocrats etc ) have this issue. I've seen a Slim Twist in a shop with this issue though ! 
I wonder if someone at some point, not knowing the correct procedure, forced them to turn. I have a Richwood with pliers gouges on the handle. Some dimwit didn`t know how to dismantle the razor, and decided to "get a bigger hammer" so to speak.
My Aristocrat jr. has the same issue. So, it's not unheard of...
the horror....

Reminiscent of a scene from one of the SAW movies, maybe installment #3
