Looks great ,

So three question

1. Where do you get lead stock from
2. How do you keep the wedge from falling out? Do you just shove the excess material around the pin together?
3. Why not just unpinned/repin in the razor

1. Where do you get lead stock from From my stash of materials, got the strangest things in there.
2. How do you keep the wedge from falling out? Do you just shove the excess material around the pin together? Yup, I used a small hammer first, didn't work that well but the burnisher did it fine, the lead smears and fill out.
3. Why not just unpinned/repin in the razorI didn't want to, the horn is old and brittle, this took under 1h.

I soaked the horn in neatsfoot oil, now it just need some love from the micro mesh and then it's time for the blade!
