Thread: My First 7 Day Set

Would not re-pin them,just tighten them up.

+1 to Pixel. That is a gorgeous Henkels set. I wouldn't risk repinning.

Sweet Score...........!

I too would rather not repin. Following the input I found on SRP I took a small hammer and tapped it on my thumb near the cuticle to get a sense of how hard to hit. Figuring that out I hit the pin several times, perhaps for 30-60 seconds and did not notice a significant difference. I didn't want to do too much for fear of bending the pin or breaking the scales.

I'll post in the workshop forum to see if there is something I'm missing.

Very nice.....

Thought I'd close the loop - with some thoughtful advice from gssixgun over in the "workshop" I was able to tighten up the pins - no need to repin. Happy camper here

That's what makes me drool. I love seven day sets. I have an old Henkels that is a great shaver. It looks like a holy grail to me!
