I seem to have a curse when it comes to OC Aristocrats!
Shaved yesterday with my new one and thought 'hmm, it seems a bit more aggressive on one side than the other'.
Further investigation showed one silo door is very marginally higher than the other:
The doors are fine until the final millimetre or so when they are tightened. Only at that point does the misalignment occur.
What this also means is that the blade is more exposed on one side than the other (as can be seen in the pictures below. I have used an Astra blade and the black dots should be the same on either side, but they're not).
What is strange is that if I hold the blade ends when tightening the razor the blade exposure is pretty much even on both sides. The plus side of this is that at least the razor can be used rather than just sit there looking pretty.
There's a thread here on Badger and Blade that talks about fiddling with the 'T' bars to realign the doors but it's a bit sketchy on detail.
Has anyone here ever attempted anything like the above and had success with it? If so, can I pick your brains?
