Damaged Razor Help.

[Blyth Spirit]

Can anyone help please?

I have an old Canadian OC Gillette of which I am very fond. It shaves (me) like a dream. Recently the Ball-End handle has come apart at the upper collar. It does have the almost obligatory couple of hairline cracks but they are barely noticable and don't bother me, it's a working tool not an exhibition piece.

Does anyone have a spare BE handle or does any one have the technical nous and skill to repair it please?

I currently have an old shabby Aluminium Tech handle on it but (a) looks crap, (b) has really altered the balance and (c) doesn't fit as well as it ought.

I'd appreciate some technical help, I really miss using this little bugger.

Want to try the steel handle from a Polish Lux razor?

I'll be at the PO tomorrow anyway...

Ah, but you might like the balance with the Lux handle even more... :lol:
