Thread: Where to buy scales?

It would be a start. Scales are not just one size fits all. Blades are different thicknesses as well as different lengths from pivot to toe. There are a few things to consider. However Brad has done a lot of restoration work and would be a helpful person to buy supplies from and should be able to point you in the right direction.

cool! I'd be lost without this forum! Thanks to you guys, I'm getting great shaves and learning new hobbies.

I have also learned a lot here. It is a very sharing bunch. Good luck with the pinning and watch the videos in the wiki. It can sometimes be challenging.

It probably wouldn't hurt to just see how a razor is pinned. Here's a thread/video that takes you through the process. http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...tml#post875983

and enjoy!!

And you will need some tools.. Of course I believe in the workshop there is a sticky on this..

Rod, washers, anvil or block of steel, 3 to 4oz. ball peen ( nice smooth round one) flush cutter and a small file might help a lot.
Drill press is REAL handy.
