Nice gillette vintage safetyrazor you've got Tony. I also have a 40's style superspeed razor(watch my video where I show my collection of safetyrazors!) It's really a nice razor and it shaves pretty well. It's a good razor also when you are just new into DE wetshaving.

You seriously mean to tell me that you're Godfather gave you a broken razor...how Fucked up is that!!
What is he...a retarded bum that washes windshields on cars for spare change?
This is what you do...forget about that broken piece of a "shit razor" he so generously gave you, go on eBay and buy a decent one for around $20 to $40 and give back that worthless piece of junk back to your worthless no good for nothing godfather!
The looseness is probably the way the mechanism should work, or it got loosened up over the decades - I don't know, I was born in the 80s. Mine is also a bit loose, just like yours, but it doesn't matter if I do or don't push it up while closing the razor, it closes nicely anyway. Despite this looseness, it works swell and it's a fantastic shaver. If it shaves well, I don't see a reason you should risk taking it apart, although I recommend cleaning it thoroughly - if you didn't do so already.
@I967 I'm not planning on taking it apart, especially since it still shaves well. It's not a big deal simply a minor inconvenience, it does like a beaut though.
I just got a 1952 Superspeed a couple of weeks ago and it does the same thing. I wonder if it is just the nature of the beast, so to speak. I put a couple of drops of sewing machine oil down the handle and a couple of more down the center post with the razor open, then worked the mechanism several times and there was some improvement. I wonder if there is just an accumulation of gunk in the mechanism. Anyway, it is a great shaver. Enjoy!
@blueguitarrondo it is indeed a great shaver, I believe the tto mechanism has loosened over time. The razor still works though just have to push it up while twisting.

Pretty easy to fix, just recrimp the barrel where it hold the knob. See this forum thread at Badger & Blade thread # 122282
