A broken Pyramid
Not sure if I should have posted this in the PCR thread but I've only shaved my face with it ......
Used to be a Geneva Cutlery Pyramid 6/8 square point but dropped it on the concrete floor and broke the tip just after I finished on the buff... Murphy's law. Now have a big rubber mat in my work area.
Next problem -deep pitting 3/4" up from the heel resulting in swiss cheese textured edge so away that went.
Finally left with a 1.5" blade but sure shaves close. Tricky using such a light weight tho & kinda slow only taking 1.5 " swipes but was able to get some bits smooth under my multi-grain chin that a longer razor won't.
I may shorten & re-fit the scales but kinda like the bare look. Now to convince my girl for a test shave...

I like the looks of that! I have a Suredge that was shortened up much the same and she still shaves great as well!

Kinda sums it up. That sound of breaking steel sure qualifies as a bad situation.

Hey Eric. Did you keep the scales on yours ? Seems to need some counterbalance. Originally Posted by crichton

I have 2 or 3 pyramids and they are all super shavers. That possible PCR looks great!

Wrap that puppy in some rattan and call it a so-fake-ee japanese razor! Looks like some good work.

Yeah this could be a trend for new Japanese shavers, I know you aren't the first to drop a blade. Originally Posted by sicboater

Glad I'm not alone with clumsy-itis. No really, I did it on purpose
