While putting my first blade onto a DE razor last night, I realized I had absolutely no idea how tightly to screw it down. Should the blade be relatively flat, or should it be extremely flexed? Somewhere in between?
As tight as it goes.
(Sorry but I have visions of some people getting out a pair of molegrips and a vice to do "as tight as it goes")
As tight as you can reasonably tighten it with your fingers. (Sorry but I have visions of some people getting out a pair of molegrips and a vice to do "as tight as it goes")

Perhaps someone could develop a torque wrench for DE razors. I think 1-3 in/lbs would be just right.Wait... we're not supposed to use a vise?

OP: Hand snug/tight is all it takes.

Ah but some people have stronger hands! Do we want bodybuilder tight or geriatric tight?
