    Anyone have a razor they like but the blade just won't stay straight ?. I have a 3¢ fix for this and it will take you less than a minute. Anyone relate. That inexpensive razor that looked awesome if there is a interest, I will put up 3 pictures of how to make that blade sit straight.

    Guess I'm one of the fortunate ones. I have 40+ safety razors - never had an alignment issue.

    For the record, my Fatip has no blade alignment issues at all.

    Post bait, i.e. "I can fix blade alignment issues." to drum up interest and speculation.

    Then you post the answer later.

    Seems to me that you very lightly tighten cap, align blade, and while holding in place, clamp down the rest of the way.

    If you still have trouble: Immediately sell on Shave Den BST, and hose another member with it.

    He already said in his original post, that you have to send him three cents.

    No, I said it would cost you 3 cents. I don't want money to help people who were robbed already

    Well I was kidding, so at the risk of us all continuing to miss the point, why don't you just show us, and then we can all be enlightened.

    It must certainly be worth the cost of admission.

    Interest for the OP's $.03? Well I never experienced blade alignment issues.

    I have, on an $8 razor I bought for the handle alone.

    My solution was to toss the offending head and baseplate in the trash.
