Many vintage Gillettes have bent teeth and repairing them is not that difficult. But there is always the risk that the tooth to be repaired can break. This risk can be reduced if the razor is placed on an even hard surface such as wood, to avoid that the tooth is bent too much to the opposite direction. But bear in mind that there is still that risk if you try to repair bent teeth .Don't forget this. You have been warned.
So put the razor on a even hard surface, put something on the tooth to be repaired and knock on it very gently with a hammer. Today I put a knife on the tooth and knocked on the knife so that the knife could transfer the force to the tooth. Hard to explain as a non-native speaker. Here some pics.
The head before:
The head after:
My setting:
I didn't knock directly on the knife, but took a screw as an aid and knocked on the screw with a hammer.
The result (I'm very happy of )
Repairing bent teeth of Old Types is even easier than repairing bent teeth of NEW Improveds.
