Or maybe I was just bored of seeing perfection at every turn... :p
Funny thing is that this ugly duckling shaves with the best of them. This is functional art fellahs. Enjoy!:rock:
popsicle stick handle, rubber band and microfastener hardware...A little bit of regrinding practice...This is way more fun than trying to make something perfect!
Well... um... can you move the rubber bands down to bend the "scales" back? or does it get used like that?
Fantastic. Love it
The rubber bands aren"t just for looks, they are so you can get a good grip when wet and soapy.Quote:

Yep. I use it just like you see it. They aren't really scales...More like a handle...but even more like two popsicle sticks wrapped with a rubber band.Quote:

That is my kind of custom/restore! :tu:
James.
Ah that explains it. I couldn't see how to close the razor without cutting the bands :p ;)Quote:

Hey, if it shaves then great.
Very original work ;)
Stu
That is great! Now all you need to do is post an ad in "Member Services" offering your unique restoration skills. :rock:

That put a smile on my face. Necessity is the mother of invention. :rock:
Now, that's class!! :dropjaw: I'll bet Don and Lynn will want these exclusively for SRD. But the big worry is the FED's. You know they raided Gibson Guitars for their use of exotic woods!! Be Afraid!!! :roflmao

You wouldn't know it from looking at regularjoe's popsicle scales but he is actually a very talented woodworker. Here are three mahogany hone cases he made for me to fit my Escher, Thuringian and Turkish Oilstone. Regularjoe is just that, a regular joe.
Nice job, Justin.
There are many talented members here and I wish we had a section on the forum for them to showcase. There's an idea.....!!......... JERRY

Whew!!
