Thread: WB safety razor and NOS blade.

The blade wasn't sold as NOS but the packaging and sharpness of the blade suggest it is.
It feels shave ready to my thumb pad and whisks away hair on my arm with ease.
Tomorrow morning I'll test it out.

Let us know, cause I have one too with some blades, I have yet to try.

I have one as well. Jimmyhad told me it would work with modded DE blades, I have yet to try. The two pins have the square bases canted on the Butchers. A bit of discretionary scissor-clipping seems necessary.
Hey! I made a Segal work that way!

Finding a square punch that would do the job or having a punch jig made up would be the thing. I can see myself trying some tin snips on some blades.
I've looked around but I can't find anyone who has even tried to sharpen the originals.

I think a pair of sturdy scissors, modding the blade while holding it inside an open cardboard box to catch the trimmings.
I will try it!

Like I said, it worked on my Segal!

The blade was not up to the task, unfortunately. It cut but tugged a lot, reminding me of the NOS Henckels safety blades I got with the razor. Given enough time, they just get dull. Probably corrosion even though they looked like new.

An alternative would be to round the square posts. I do have two now, one in extremely poor condition that might lend its self to experiment.
