Gillette Slim Adjustable and Super Speed Problems

Does the TTO knob have up and down play in it? It could be that the crimp down toward the bottom of the handle is no longer holding the knob firmly in place. If that's coming partially out of the groove it could cause stiffness. Pushing up on the knob as you turn should work if that's the case. There is a fix involving a dulled down pipe cutter that onotoman worked out.

D'oh!

I do believe you've detected the problem, my friend. I just tried doing exactly what you told me to do, and it did open easier. I also heard a clicking noise as it opened...telltale sign of some sort of grinding. Your advice is appreciated!

Which thread highlights this fix?
