Thread: Fram 6/8

My kind of razor. Very clean and simple. I like my scales to be one solid color and a very mild shape.

That's a really nice job Wirm. I have a further question about the wedge - how do you avoid a heat build up when using the rotary part of the sander? I'm assuming the wedge must be in place - or is it just a case that it is not so important on G10 as it would be on, say, celluloid scales?

Thanks UKRob . Yes I do trim the wedge after it is pinned, and I have not found over heating to be a issue. If you think about it ,the wedge has been tapered and is now fairly thin and if you use a light touch and take little bites there is little to no heat build up. I do keep a container of water nearby when tapering the wedge as the brass does heat up uncomfortably at that stage. I generally use pressure sensitive double sided turners tape (it holds like a champ)to hold the wedge material either to a small stick or most often my finger for the tapering process . After trimming on the disc I like to use my dmt card to refine the fit and remove any scratches then hand sand and polish.

Nice and clean, I like it.

It sure looks like many things went well here...
Love the materials you chose and the skilled work

Clean and Classy
