New Member with a New Razor
Hello there,
I've been shaving with a straight razor now for a few months; I'm enjoying it immensely--wish I had two faces, etc.
i just received a Esberg-Koraat 6/8" ebony French point. It is beautiful and effective and it has this strange spacer in the plug at the toe of the scales (it actually looks like a pulley). Does anyone know if it has a function?
it actually rattles which annoys me slightly. Any ideas?

Pics with details will help a lot. That way we can make some educated guesses.

Some vintage razors used a spacer instead of a wedge. I guess your your pulley spacer is a modern take on that. If it rattles it may need to be peened a bit if it is pinned in place in the traditional fashion.

Don't know if these will com up, but here's hoping. I'm not much of a photographer. Thanks in advance.
