Thanked: 284I had a teacher in school that used to CHEW lead solder. I wonder if he's still alive...
But yeah in that Joseph Rodgers 4 day set I got it has the lead (or pewter) wedges, and I really like the weight balance. Thanks for the heads up about using that on restores...
As far as glue, I tried that on one razor but my wedge was not perfect enough, and now when I open the razor it pops that glue each time. It sets up enough after closing that it keeps popping when I open itI love living in the past...

I totally agree that using microfasteners to work out things before finalizing it all is the ONLY way to go. I've found many problems that way and it's much easier to fix things before pinning a blade.

This shows how to do it with a lined wedge, the only difference is an unlined one is even easier

This all just got me to thinking - can I hammer out some of my lead fishing weights to use as a wedge? Anyone tried it?
