Super Speed Vertical Play w/ TTO

[polaris]

Hi All,

This may have been covered in another thread but I couldn't find anything. I have a Gillette Red Tip SS with a little vertical play when I move the TTO up and down. I other words, if I open the doors about half way and move the TTO up and down towards and away from the base of the handle, there is some play and the T-riser bar moves up and down too. Not too bad but more than any of my other Super Speeds. Is there a way to fix this? Something I can do myself?

Thanks Much!

Hello,

look for “recrimping handle” or “dropped knob” in the search box. The groove in the barrel is worn out so it can’t hold the knob as snug as it should. It’s a rather easy fix with a piece of wire, tape and a wise.

Very fixable! And a great razor IMHO!!
