How did Geneva Cutlery achieve the perfect looking roundness with their collarless pinning?

This is the Razor with the bent scales I am trying to straighten out. No luck so far.

Okay, here's the strop after a soaking and a scrub with a new brush. There were tiny white flecks coming off the strop. You might be able to discern the water on the counter looks a little milky....

I have two projects I'm working on this afternoon. The first is a continuation of my scale straightening project from earlier this week. The second project is cleaning a vintage strop linen. I have...

Yeah, I used the spout of the teapot this weekend. I'll steam it again tonight hopefully.

I saw a slight improvement after removing the popsicles sticks this evening. 279099

I'm not sure whether I should resplint and let the scales sit for a couple of days or try to use steam...

I'm guessing you've seen the NOS Pumas on the German manufacturer's website. They had a 5/8 wedge. The pricing is way out of my league.

I can't see the photo, mihai.

The scales are plastic.

I'm trying to straighten out some warped scales. Yesterday I used steam to heat the scales then use old scales as a splint. I ended up making the bending worse and the toes hit the scale when closing...

Is it possible to straighten out a slight bend in plastic scales without unpinning a razor?

Nice strops, guys.

Tom, does your Morris Red Imp have a wedge?

I have a 133 where the scales come together. I'll try to post a pic. I think I sent Mike a picture of the logo so he could try to scan it.

And popcorn!

I'm pretty sure Chigur is from West Texas, Tom.

Did you get an answer explanation about the hole in the box, Tom? That sounds pretty mysterious.

Looking good, Shaun.

What's the un-scaled razor?

It was a neat razor and a cool pic, Tom. I'm green with envy.:tu

I have a Morris #133 and didn't realize the logos were not the same between the wedge and hollow ground models until recently.

Do all of the #132 Red Imps have Red Imp Wedge on the side of the scales?

I just wish they found more barber shop stuff.

A friend of mine visited the shop and got to meet Mike Wolf. She said he is a lot like he is on the show- genuine, nice, and outgoing.

Martin103, I was watching the History Channel show "American Pickers" the other day. They were in Italy and found a barber chair like that. They bought it and shipped it back to the states.

There...

Oh, yeah. That is a nice Torrey.

Yep, Wolfpack makes a pretty smooth edge on a Sheffield with a coticule and Escher.

The Turner is looking nice Phrank. :tu

The ice is coming this way, too. I need to make it to the post office tomorrow morning to send out a care package. I'm going to hunker down this weekend and do some honing, maybe some hand sanding.

Phrank, what brand is the Mk. 10?
