    Sometimes, you have a tapered tang and scales coming together at a taper due to the bowing caused by a taper wedge. When the blade is closed, the tapers align and the blade is loose. When the blade is open, the tapers are normal to each other and the blade is tight. I have several razors which behave like this. If it is as tight as is reasonable when open then there is not a lot you can do about the floppiness when closed.
