Head tightening

All the way. I always leave the blade in mine. The less handling, the better.
1.34 PSI is the ideal.
Should be torqued to 1.5 foot pounds.
Just enough to keep the head held on.

I'm pretty sure factory specs call for 1.35 PSI.
snug should suffice just fine.
We're assuming TTO? I leave any razor the same as when I shaved and rinsed until time to change the blade.
Can someone translate this to ounces/sq. cm?

​Just enough that when you shaving with it........ the head doesn't spin on you.
There's a simple formula that might help:
So is this for 2-piece or for 3-piece razors?
I'll just throw this out there… if you are using a stainless razor, and you also like to leave the blade in, a tiny loosening of the head after your shave, rinse, and cleaning (say ¼ turn) will do wonders to eliminate the rust issue.
