I have dealt with micro fasteners many times. Good source. Just by co-incidence we also have two different local "old fashioned" hardware store nearby and I was at one of them today for brass rod...

I've been wanting to save this blade for several years. Finally finished it. A F Bannister , Newark N J---Back of tang is blank, no stamp. Original scales were tortoise but disintegrated over...

If you have a barber hone you could easily refresh the edge wit 5 to 10 strokes, then a proper stropping may well take the pull out of your shave.

Some guys are better at this than others. Good...

I believe I have in the neighborhood of 220 razors.

Have been collecting off and on for 50 years.

My favorite has to be my Livi Damascus.

There you have it:dropjaw:

Henry Ford said, "You can buy his cars in any color you want as long as it's black."

Some of us are tired of black scales, jazz 'em up a little bit!

I will now close Pandora's Box an just simply enjoy using the stone. Thanks all for commenting and also the humor:beer2:

Try a bit of dish detergent in your slurry water as lubrication..........

Check your tape if you are using tape. It might be rolling up under the spine and scraping the bare spine on the stone. Just a thought:chapeau

Buy the Chosera 1k. You won't be sorry.
It's a great performer and unless you go into business, you'll only ever need one.
I also have the Naniwa 1k. I'll take the Chosera all day..... Hi:chapeau

I did the exact same thing 35 years ago.

As far as RAD is concerned, buy razors 'til you run out of money. Then it will stop��

More like bird droppings, Jimmy. I'll take down the feeders:chapeau:

Natural combo, thanks Scott;)

Thanks in advance......:rock:

For us old hands it's nothing new but for the uninitiated honers new the sport, it tends to be interesting and valuable info.

Isn't our primary purpose to help those in need? There are pleas for...

Thanks for the drmatt info. I will definitely try this method. I have long been a fan of the unicot method with great success.

There seems to be an ample supply of electricity currently available in my neighborhood.....

I agree wholeheartedly. Ulrich Beyer is a 100% stand-up gentleman and l might add, "nix besser"!!

Thanks Pete, I guess someone will eventually start a Koraat Club. I'd like to see yours if you have photos handy...

I recently got my first KORAAT razor from Austria. It is perfect in every way and "definitely" shave ready.

This is the most beautifully perfect...

I have an Australian Kangaroo strop that is super thin and l enjoy stropping on it and get good results to boot. Thin is good....:chapeau

Lovely scales on that Livi. Livi's are razors for a lifetime. Enjoy!

Making a razor like the 7-0003 seems somewhat pointless. No?

How about a hand written letter to the different companies. No possibility of message error there.

Fire away!!!!! The USPS won't fail you.

Looks like a razor to be proud of. Can we look for it in the classifieds?? Nice!
