I can't see any pins in the tang covers. How are they attached ?

Waterproof extra strong bond epoxy. You know the one you see in the commercials where they hang Granny up against the ceiling. You get the idea.

Not all of them. This one was in real bad shape. I guess the water and humidity that crawled between the original tang covers during all these years must have slowly rusted the steel.

Belts, Buffer, Greaseless, Rouges,.. the whole 9 yards. I do occasionally still hand sand between the wheels when needed.

Thanks to everyone else for the nice comments.

Max, I really really like this one. Very classy. I am going to try to make one of these for Chris M and these pics are really helpful.

Bob

That is an awesome Job!

Lu

I'm going to have to get one of your razors soon! They're just awesome looking every single time!

Amazing, about as good as it gets and then some.

I have to chime in on this one too. WOW. Well done, my friend.

Beautiful razor! Very classy.

It would be hard to resist sticking that in the ol' tuxedo pocket to show off at a formal occasion!

Do you buy the micarta, or fabricate it yourself?

Fred

I would never have imagined that razor would clean up so well. Well done sir!

No, I don't. There's enough manufactured Micarta being sold in varying colors and textures.
