Thread: Ivory-scaled 1820's Joseph Elliot restore

When I first started using a straight, I had bought several ivory scaled razors that always needed tighening at the pivot. After breaking several while attempting to tighten the pivot, there was a long moratorium on using any ivory scaled razors. I finally did learn to tighten them reasonably well. I don't understand why they were all made without collars. would have been so much easier. I need to try your method on some broken ones I have . You got very good results.
