Thanked: 0I bought a beautiful razor but the scales are loose
Hi guys. I bought an A.Witte Gold Bug straight razor and it is my most favorite razor I have owned (I haven't owned that much). It has very light honing, the condition and such are nice as well. My problem is the loose blade. I brought it to a sharp shop that tried to tighten it a little bit but it still slips out easily when turned upside down or sideways. I have a choice to either return it to the person I bought it from or keep it and send it to someone here to see if they can tighten it enough to where the blade is "stiff" or snug inside the scales when turned upside down. If it doesn't work out, I might sell it and lose some of the money I spent on it and shipping it around. Should I keep it and bite the bullet and pay extra money to send it to someone in hopes they can try to tighten it or should I just return it? I am torn because I love everything else about this razor and I planned on getting rid of my boker edelweiss and dovo forestal to keep this one. Is it just a razor that will always be really loose? I bought it under the presumption that it was snug but yeah. I do not want to try to tighten it myself. Thanks.
