Thread: With all the awesome custom work here, my first project pales in comparison.

This is a first attempt at everything related to restorations and modifications.

My first razor dis-assembly, scale fabrication, and re-pin.

This wade and butcher has so much ware that the edge is now encroaching the blade etching. The original scales had a crack at the hinge pin area. So I made myself a narrow shaver that is light, quick, and nimble. I put a nice hair popping edge on it. The first shave is the next order of business for this (4/8" toothpick shaver).

Good Job! 4/8 are very useful, and nice to have.

you have to start somewhere. It is a very nice start.

Well, first attempt is successful. I like it, very nice razor, love the scales

For fun I weighed it- 26.33 grams

It is a very nice first go!

I like it for a first full resto with custom scales
Nothing like learning it all at once hey
Great save of a blade that may have otherwise been left to rot somewhere I like the 4/8" blades for bread edging

That's quite a precise scale you have there! Looking good for your first scales, certainly better than mine. Good job on the 4/8, I can imagine they are a little harder to work with than wider blades.

Its a reloading scale for measuring gunpowder. Its not a scientific scale but it does go out to 3 decimal places. I no longer reload since I no longer shoot competitively. Since I have the scale, I figured I would re-brand it as a razor restoring tool!

I really like the shape of the new scales, they are very svelte! Good job!
