help with slim adjustable

i purchased a nice slim adjustable a couple months ago, the finish was great save for a couple small high wear areas. the shave was extremely disappointing, barely cut my whiskers even on the most aggressive setting. after some examining and reading, i came to the conclusion that the safety bar was way out of alignment. so far about a half dozen separate times ive tried to get the bar aligned, ive come out with a fairly uneven safety bar, ive read the tutorial on here but for some reason this razor is being stubborn, so my question is do you think i should buckle down and prove im more stubborn than a hunk of metal, or find someone to do it for me?
 
What methods/tools have you used so far? Could you share some photos? Also, it sounds like the adjuster might be "underclocked."
 
ill grab some photos when i can, i used a flat head screwdriver and what i think is called the butter knife technique,
 
Amazing you've been here since 2012 and have not. Regardless, do find out and send it to Cap at:

Or this was a joke that clearly went over my head

No, no joke. I'm just clueless, apparently. :blushing: I've never had a razor that needed repairs. I've gotten my two replated, but that is all that they needed. I'll keep the good Capt in mind should I ever need razor work done.
 
Who is Capt Murphy? Haven't heard of him (her?) before.
I haven't heard of him either.. maybe he means
