    Cool Having a fun time with a Dorko 7 day set

    First off, an entire weeks worth of work on these, getting them restored for our very own mbaglio here at SRP
    As I told Michael I truly believe that 90% of the problems on these razors were caused by the fact that when they left the factory, they did so without bearing washers...
    This caused some extra stress with the center pin spacer, which in turn helped with the warping that occurred, then I really believe that the minor rusting that was on the tangs would not have been that bad if they had not been resting right against the scales...
    Needless to say we polished the blades and straightened all the scales, popped and replaced all 21 pins so they all match again I even took so time to re-glue the box nice and tight...

    So now why is this in the Honing section instead of the Workshop ????

    Well good question, so let Michael and I explain

    Instead of having me hone all of these identically, which is the norm, I am going to hone each one different....

    We will have

    Naniwa SS 12k
    Shapton GS 30k
    Select Coticule
    Blue/Green Escher
    Nakayama Midori
    Thuringen
    PHIG

    Of course I will have the key as to which is honed on what stone and Michael will just be doing some test shaving...

    Another fun test,

    Keep in mind this doesn't prove anything other than we like to have a bit of fun on SRP, some people tend to put a wee bit to much weight into these...
