The other morning I was happily having a shave, doing all that kuffule of life in the morning, and went to change the blade in my Parker Semi-Slant which I've been using as my daily go-to for over a year now.
I unscrew it, and it pops apart very quickly, which surprised me. And then I try to put the new bald in and discover that it isn't sitting how I expect at all.
It turns out that the threaded part of the top of the head has managed to snap off short in the handle, so that the blade now has to be compressed before I can screw it on.
This isn't too much of an issue, the razor still works. But I am scared, holding a blade next to my throat with only a few threads (or at least less than the original design intended) is not a relaxing morning experience!
Now, I'm sure I could contact the shop I bought this from, and ask for a replacement. This biggest thing I have stopping me doing that is that I have no idea which online retailer I bought it from! And a search through my emails has not been successful as of yet.
Has anyone else had this kind of experience? Any advice as to what could have caused it?
