    I just received a Schick Repeating Razor from the large auction site. I bid assuming that it needed a good cleaning and that the finish was less than stellar, but that it was in good working order.
    When I unpacked it, it was open, and I tried to close it. The slide moved easily for maybe 1/32", then felt as if it hit a hard stop, so I don't think it's a lubrication problem. Can anyone here advise me on how to fix it?

    Could be a blade jammed in it. You will have to look and see what it is hitting.

    Yeah, it feels like I'm running into the end of something (like a lost blade?), but I don't see anyway in to check, short of taking a hacksaw to it.
    Thanks for the advise.

    Wow, nearly 1600 messages in that thread. That'll take me a few days to run through. Thanks for pointing me toward it.

    It looks like a tiny slot in the upper end to push a blade from the magazine into the head. I wonder if I can push blade backwards through the slot to dislodge the obstruction? Time will tell. I don't want to go off half-cocked and really screw things up.

    Yup. That was going to be a suggestion. WD 40 will solve a lot of issues.

    Sounds like a plan.
