Thread: My first restoration/custom build

All finished! This time the washers are on the correct side and everything turned out great. Its not perfect, namely because of my questionable aim with a hammer, but its finished. I even got the lockup tighter on this pinning and it sits square in the scales now with no problems. The closest thing to a glitch is that the scales when looked at closely are ever so slightly uneven because of the unevenness of the pivot area on the blade itself. Basically each scale is bent differently to conform to the razor.
I already know its a shaver from tests and I think this little project will be in my shaving rotation for quite some time. Its my least fancy razor due to the original damage on the blade and my amateur mistakes but it has its worth in spades for sentimental value.
