Thread: Sleeving or filling an oversized pivot hole

To be completely honest, I never usually do anything to an oversized pivot hole. Sometimes doing something will help, sometimes it will hurt it, but most of the time it makes no difference. If you are having problems with the blade centering 9 times out of 10 the problem has nothing to do with the pivot being oversized but with a different problem on the razor or scales. If the blade is moving because of too much 'slop' or whatever, it may be the pivot hole, but really, I can't remember this ever being a problem for me.

Each guy has his own fixes and opinions. It's useless to argue a point with no correct answer. It's EASIEST for the man with the problem to try to figure out the fix that works best for him. Sometimes all of our opinions mixed together will just confuse rather than help.
