Help m'y blade is loose

[Lorenzoo]

Hi Friends
I just purchased my first merkur DE razor and I Can not sit the blade properly. The blade is loose and I was only able to cut my face.
Any tips lads ?

Is it (the blade) mounted onto the retaining posts?

 

[Lorenzoo]

Only squized in between the head and the handle.

Base plate seems to be missing. Does it normaly come with the razor ? I would say yes.

 

[wooky114]

Which razor is it?

 

[wooky114]

Is it a 2 piece razor i.e. Merkur 34 (on left of the image - the base plate is fixed to the handle) or a 3 piece razor?

 

[Lorenzoo]

Mine is merkur 23

 

[NotTheStig]

Looks like there should be a separate base plate on that model

I got it off some random dude I bumped into at Burnley central station. £25 only.
