Hello, I have a R2 Black long-handled gillette super adjustable thats doing something odd. Whenever I turn the knob at the bottom to tighten it, the shaft spins on me..Its very odd, sometimes it just keeps spinning and throws the settings out of wack. Its very hard to explain, im sorry. Has this happened to any of you? Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks.
No one know whats going on?

Sorry tj, wished I could help.#76
The Gods are obviously trying to tell you that its time to commit yourself only to straights!;)
Wow, I think I'm number 94. I haven't had that happen (yet), but if it can be broken, I can usually do it so just give me some time and we'll chat about it. :D In all seriousness, I hope you get some answers instead of just voyeurs.
no problem! thank anyway guys. If i hold the head of the razor i can open and close it (carefully) and it works ok. i barely use it anyway. the straight gods are calling!
TJ, the Gillette Adjustable is designed to continue turning about 1/8 of a turn after you meet resistance. This locks the blade down and is normal. Other than that, I don't know. What part of the razor is spinning?
Hey TJ first I'll say I have no idea what you're talking about. However I am pretty quick with the mechanical issues so you can bring it by the shop and I'll take a look at it for you.
sorry TJ. Perhaps its a sign to steer clear of Gilettes? :shrug:
Perhaps if you posted some pics we could help more.....
Id love to post pics the the girlfriend dropped the camera and killed it!! Ill bring it to icedog sometime and see what he can do. Thanks for all the help guys, its super hard to explain so i wouldn't expect anyone to have a clue what i was whining about. I was hoping id get lucky and someone would have had the same problem could tell me how to fix it......Im gonna go shave...my Double arrow is calling to me...
