Thread: Broke my own record

The straight razor gods, want you to practice you scale making skills.

How did you break the two?

Time for more coffee, it's just too early for bourbon. Maybe.

Not a record by far!! I dropped a bag bunch of razors from a antique store as I got out of the car onto ice and fell on them. Fried scales a bunch. My hide was ok.

As I sit here I have 3 fingers bandaged. One from a blade I was sanding, one from a Japanese saw (don't ask), and one from the belt sander. Unfortunately there was no scotch involved - lack of sleep is sometimes just as bad!

I'll bet Stimpy has an interesting story for his - mine are always trying to nudge a pin out. There's a normal amount of pressure I use to work the pin out if comes off cleanly using flush cutters - but occasionally they just don't give in. Sometimes the exact point in time when I realize something is amiss is also when the renegade scales meet their point of maximum give. …and snap!
