By the quite enormous quantity of porcelain scaled straight razors that survived until XXI century, I bet they were very popular.

That's because each previous owner experienced an untimely and strange demise. Originally Posted by dave5225

Only YOU know of the curse, Spendur. You might save lives by informing us of the dark, mysterious and twisted tale of the Porcelain Scales. Originally Posted by thebigspendur

They would have to be annealed on the ends to super-soft. If the pin-holes were sized right, some rivet-body collars all the way through would be my preference. If the blade does not center, only gluing-down spacers and filing them here and there would do. Seems a pile of work if I did it.
Would not want to risk breaking those. Think I will bid!
Oh! It's a BIN!
First time for me to see some Porcelain scales & you're right Tom, they would need a different type of wedge since they most likely don't flex. I would probably try pinning them but would take my sweet time doing it. I wouldn't want to risk breaking 'em either, not at that price. It would be different if they were made a dime a dozen..............
I have bought from that seller before quite awhile back. He says he has several thousand razors...........he holds the record for RAD, that's for sure.
