My first! A Renovated Pyramid
Here is my first completed renovated razor, before and after. This is a Geneva Pyramid #7 I got from e-bay a few months ago. The blade was in fair shape, so I just gave it a light sanding and a tumble, but I wanted new scales. So, after finally assembling the tools and the materials, and many hours of researching the forum and the Bill Ellis Restoration CD, this is the result.
The scales are Recon Stone Tortoise, and the wedge is white poly imitation pearl. The pins are brass rod, and the washers are from Microfasteners.
What was really cool for me was taking Bill Elliss advice about making a bushing for the pivot hole that worked great, admittedly on the second fabrication attempt. :o
I will never make the mistake again of trying to drill the pinholes freehand :cen the most stupid move I made during this exercise (but not the only one:p). I will probably revisit this work down the road, but it stands as it is for right now, except for a refinement session on the stones.
All of the successes are due to you guys, I own all the failures. Comments, questions, critiques, helpful hints, and criticisms are welcome.
