Gillette New Standard, problem?
Gentlemen, I would appreciate some opinions on this safety razor.
Before I test it on my delicate skin I was wondering if I should sand down the underside of the head plate or leave it alone. Hopefully you can see in the pictures that there is a slight bend in the edge of the blade due to the dimples/dents on each corner of the top piece. Does anyone else have a new standard that looks the same? Also, it has that common crack in the handle near the top, it still fits tight but I was wondering what methods are out there to fix it permanently (solder, glue, jbweld, bubblegum)

Thanked: 1195Doesn't look like it's affecting the blade itself, so it won't affect the shave either. Unless the cosmetics really bug you, like groovy said leave it alone.

I don't think that yours is any different from the others. The little ^^ are part of the heads construction. Enjoy!

I see what you are talking about... If it doesn't efffect the shave then don't worry about it. The n get some counseling for the ocd.

Thanked: 48it does actually look intentional as a way to 'mute' the ends of the blade which is where it is most likely to cause a nick at the corners.

TwistedOak:
I agree with the other gentlemen to leave the razor alone. From what I can see, the slight bend should not hamper your shave.
