no longer closing in centre of scales
Is there an easy way to sort a razor that no longer closes in centre? Cuts into scale when closed without slightly pushing to one side.

Take a hammer head,Put it in a vise (anvil) Take a tablespoon and gently tap the Pivot pin on the side you want to move the blade, with the other side of the pin resting on the anvil.go slow.

Tap tap tap on the pivot pin offending side.
Check.
Repeat as needed.
Your just re centering.
No prior trauma to straight before this development??
Then above operation should fix you right up.Your only as good as your last hone job.

Don't worry none of you guys on here. Also could have been postal service. So leaving it at that.
