That sounds ominous. I got a Chatsworth only two weeks ago. How long had you had yours before this happened?

Johnus said:I recently bought a mint condition Gillette 1904 model. It looks like it was sold for the 1st time yesterday. The vendor provided a second head, nice but not mint, that he recommended that I use if I were to use it for daily shaving. He also repeatedly stressed that I not over tighten it.
I had not heard this concern with Gillette before. I did notice the heads on the older Gillette's dimpling, over tightening must have been the cause.
Yellow Jim said:The concern with you over tightening it is that you may crack the barrel. It's a very common problem on those old Gillette models.
