    Got the plastic washers also. Hoping to use them as bearing washers between blade and scale.

    Anyone used these?

    Shipping can be very erratic when ordering from countries that were behind the former Iron Curtain. Found that out years ago getting Russian camera gear from there. Patience, lots of patience, is required at times so leaving enough lead time is a good idea.

They were the solid cone shaped washers that a few guys have tried.

    Anyone?
    While I haven't ordered from him as you've seen the shipping from various countries overseas varies quite a bit. Hell a package from Canada can take 10 days to 2 weeks.

    Have patience and give it quite awhile more. As has been pointed out he ships for very little funds so it's not coming 2 day USPS Priority Shipping.

    And on the plastic washers/no I haven't tried them so I'm no help there.

    Its took about a month to get bone blanks for Rez. But i think he was holding out on me. You know how those Canadians can be.
    Kidding aside. Im happy i now got them. I have one razor in the works that will need them. I havent got far on it and with my work, its hard to find time. Or should i say the wifes list gets in the way. Ha.
