I finished the rebuild of the C. I took photos of every step, 21 to be exact. Makes for a pretty big post so I'll do the highlights now and figure out how to show the whole process later. First remove the screw that holds the razor head. Use a decent screw driver so you don't bugger the screw. Next take the little screws out that hold the shell on. These also require a decent screwdriver now you can pull the assembly out. Take note of where everything is at as you pull it out. oK so I've got the thing in pieces and am ready to put the replacement parts in. The spring is a trick and once it is in place the screw goes back to hold it and the just do the whole thing in reverse. Easy peasy. Any questions?

I guess I should show the spring.. Now it cycles blades like a champ!

That was $10 well spent. Great job and great info. Now all i have to do is find a C. Next year. I keep asking my wife and she keeps saying no. She is no fun

I believe it is better to ask forgiveness than permission . Or something like that!

Well then i will give that a shot. I will let you all know how this turns out. Right after i get out of the hospital

Thanks for the pics. Now I need you to figure out how to get a jammed Type B apart and post pics

My spring doesn't screw on its shaped a bit different and almost snaps in.

Can you post some pictures of it again. Also with some closeups of the back end to the inside? Maybe we can figure something out.

Tom

The problem is that I can't open it. This is the only pic I have right now. I'll try and take more later.

Thanks for the info. I will get mine out and study them. See if i can figure anything out.

Tom

Thank you! I have tried lots of tugging and have soaked it in WD-40 with no luck. I think the cartridge is jammed in it.

Tonight's shave all lined up!

Well what are you waiting for? get to scraping.

Tom

I always shower first. The whole process takes awhile.

As usual, late to the club. A C1 and C2 I believe.

Those are beauties. You have C1 (full open comb). The other is a C3 if you can would you post what numbers are stamped on your doors.
Welcome to the club.
Tom

Blank or worn off on the C1 and D170 on the C3

Thanks. We will add you to the database. How do you like the shaves? Do you prefer one over the other?

Tom

I prefer the C3, the open comb on the C1 is not as comfortable as other open combs I have used. It might be because they are narrower than other combs I have. The angling head does help getting into some of my harder to reach areas.
