Thread: New and in need

Hi and welcome!

Here's a link to a tutorial for Low Tech (mostly) Scale Making, if you are intresed in doing it yourself, or you could PM one of the restorers about custom scales.

In my opinion grags could benefit from knowing what the term shave ready means:

Any razor which has been propertly honed.

This is a point that is freqeuntly overlooked on these forums, that new members often do not know the definition of the words.

You can also get pre-made scales and pins from Classic Shaving or The Invisible Edge if you just want a quick fix without making scales.You will have to assemble,then cut off,file,and peen the new pins.Or you can go with microfasteners.com and get fasteners that screw together.

Hmm, interesting. I am not ready to call myself adequate with the striaght at this point, but once I can get up to speed on it I might look into making my one straight a tad more visualy appealing. I can buy replacement handle, hmm might do this when I get up to speed.

ebay is fine but you need to have an understanding of what the item is worth. Never pay anyone on ebay more than the item is worth, with shipping included. I can get a brand new razor for $50 plus shipping so never offer anyone that amount or more for anything on ebay.

Even if you come over a razor for 75 bucks that needs some honing that is worth about 200 honed? ^^ But never more than 50 bucks for something that might be crap is a quite sound principle...

Might have a point Stuggi.
