walden@sub.wetshaving.social 1 year agoI’ve never done it myself, but depending on how handy/adventurous you are, you can re-solder it, or use epoxy/JB weld/etc. If soldering, using a heat gun instead of an open flame or soldering iron is recommended. badgerandblade.com/…/gillette-end-caps-re-fixing.…

I actually do own a soldering gun, and that was my original plan, but someone much more skilled in using them convinced me it wouldn’t really work. It’s been many many years since I’ve used one anyway, so it’s probably just as well that I go a different route.
I appreciate the B&B thread, that looks to have all the info I was looking for!

Yeah, most soldering irons aren’t good enough to heat up that much metal.
