I have the worst luck! Just dropped the bottom screwing mechanism of my Merkur 34C down the sink drain.

The worst part is it's not my sink and I'm living in a dorm room on a contract that ends in three days. No way I can get someone to get it out as well...

I loved that razor to...damn it, gotta order a new one!

it is in the p trap, just take it apart and retrieve it

Yep. It's easy. No tools required.

It's not my sink though. I'm on a base and I can't take anything apart because if something gets wrecked and I didn't report then I will be in trouble.

Plus I don't know how I could open this without tools :/

Just make sure you put a bucket or other receptacle under the p trap before you disassemble it.

Take a trip to Wal-Mart and get a pair of $9.00 channel locks. I am sure that would be cheaper than a new razor.

Ok thanks everyone

Yes what he said.

What they both said.
Good Luck!

This too.

Every wet shaver should own one of these.

Home depot, $8.00




It's the easy-reacher-grabby-put-a-magnet-in-the-claws
-and-send-it-down-the-toilet to retrieve anything from the jaws of hell tool. (from Ronco!)
I've re-claimed razor blades, razor heads, razor handles, and one very small lead lined tube of depleted uranium with mine!

Oh yeah, and a 1916 Mercury dime (don't ask...)

Or anyone with a significant other whose hair clogs the drains several times a year. This tool is pretty neat and when you need one, you usually really need one.

Let us know if you are able to retrieve the lost part. Good luck.

Easy peasy,,,,,,takes about 2 min,,and most of the time those traps come off with no tools....only suppose to be hand tight. Also,,many a ring , ear ring ect. been found stuck in those traps,,

Best of luck in retrieving it!

Sound like a treasure hunt! No telling what you may find. If you use a tool wrap it in a rag so you do not scratch up the metal.

The p trap does not screw off. It's almost as if it's sealed shut :/. A wrench is not doing the trick at all

put a bucket under it and tap it with a hammer.
unscrew it first, of course.
it's just stuck together with old soap scum and grease.
tap it with firm but light hand. it will come off.
use Teflon tape when you put it back together, or replace with plastic.
it's easy enough to do, especially for a razor you like.

I have one of those and use it a lot ..It's not only good for things caught in the drain but also under and behind appliances, furniture etc.

Oh, no.
This sounds exactly like what happened at my house
shortly before the big flood of '88.....
