Thread: Hart Steel razor - How to keep it tight?

I have a couple Hart Steel razors and as far as shaving goes I like them both. I am lucky enough to have two with good quality ( it took sending one back but the replacement was fine) The problem I have with one of them ( the 7/8) is it will not stay tight. In the process of moving the blade in the scales for the different shaving positions it comes loose and I have to stop and tighten it. Just wondering of any of you Hart folks have solved this problem. I was thinking of a tiny lock washer??

Loctite? NOT the permanent one!

I have had success putting a tiny drop of pancake syrup on the threads. Just the tiniest drop will do. As it dries, it gets sticky enough to resist coming loose.

Pancake syrup any special Brand?

Don't laugh Bill, it works well.

I'm not going to mince words, this sounds like a terrible, no good, horrible idea. I don't doubt that it gets sticky and "works", however, the concept of working needs to be effective AND not wreck it. I mean, throwing it out of a moving car might "work" too, but would be, in my opinion, as unadvisable.

Also, I'm not sure I want to know how you learned syrup on your pivot worked...you weren't using your straight to cut pancakes were you!?

Lock tite blue is on my hart. I have since diss assembled and just put a new drop on when I put it back together.

Yeppers Locktite Blue and if you look close there are two different ones One drop usually does the trick for quite awhile

#242 Normal Applications
#243 Oily/Wet aplications

You can normally find the #243 at a real Hardware store, where you are located I would call any hardware store that sells Tractor stuff too
