I picked up a Schick Type-A earlier this week and finally was able to load it with some modern Chick blades. When I did, I noticed that the blade was VERY loose in the head. If I breathed on it it would fall out. Is this fairly normal? I tried looking around for a definitive answer but couldn't find anything conclusive. I did however try to bend the spring (ended up marring the head a bit. DOH!) and it seems to be OK now. With the spring bent a bit more is that gonna cause trouble is I want to use vintage blades?
I also noticed that I damaged several of my blades trying to load the clip into the handle (double DOH!), but seem to have at least saved one.
