As long as we're putting in orders for Tom's man-cave/razor museum/bar, in order to maintain the period authenticity, you will need Rita Hayworth tending that bar (or at least a black and white pinup-she was the queen of the pin-ups IMO).
Great Idea!

I’m trying to do the same thing over again. The skills testing question is where did I get these collars from?
They are not from Austin, the guy from Easter Europe doesn’t have them in his ebay store nor does the guy from Germany that goes by razor handles. Have I missed something?

The large dome at the wedge end is 6mm and the small one at the pivot is 4.5mm
Would they be the solid type collars? From the guy in Bulgaria?
Damn Tom. I must say I'm impressed. I count somewhere around 258 there. That's an impressive display. I can almost smell the Clubman and cigar smoke.
My hat's off to you sir.Attachment 313417
Looks like Babur's outer domes. Lemme look and see if I have some.
Yup. Bigs and littles...

Maybe I should put this in the honing thread, but it's what I'm working on and I'm sure someone here can offer advice.
I got the C-Mon all pinned up and all came out well. I got the bevel set at 1K, but this is the thinnest grind I've ever worked with. I can just feel a bit of a thickness change near the edge when running my finger down from the spine and the blade will flex under finger pressure. I went with a lot less torque than I normally use when setting the bevel. Is this the right approach, just lighten up the pressure and do more strokes? I'm worried about the blade flex messing with the edge while I'm honing.
Thanks in advance.
That's the right idea, jelly. Float the blade on the hone, the edge will dig in on its own. Watch your not honing off the edge of the hone.!
Honing thin blades like that are a blessing to ol wedges.
