    Default Puma 90 SHORTY

    SORRY in advance about the pictures.
    I SWEAR I am getting WORSE at taking them.


    This arrived yesterday:

    Name: IMG_0970.jpg Views: 195 Size: 19.5 KB
    Name: IMG_0973.jpg Views: 196 Size: 24.3 KB

    Marked out where it needed to be shortened:
    Name: IMG_0972.jpg Views: 184 Size: 19.8 KB
    Name: IMG_0974.jpg Views: 190 Size: 22.9 KB

    Had to take about 3/4 of an inch off :
    Name: IMG_0975.jpg Views: 180 Size: 32.0 KB

    1/2 hour later after shortening blade and scales and reshaping scales to fit new blade length:
    Name: IMG_0977.jpg Views: 181 Size: 22.8 KB

    2 1/2 Hrs. to sharpen:

    Thanks Richard!
    For some reason I just LOVE making these shorty razors. Bringing new life back to them.

    Thank you for doing this. I had my eye on this very razor for this very purpose, but don't have the tools to get it done, so let it pass by. Kudos sir!

    Awesome! I wish I had your skills. I LOVE shorties, and shave with nothing but these days, but I am afraid my ends will end up looking like a jigsaw puzzle once I am done cutting.

    That looks like its going to be a killer shaver!

    Nice save on that one, the shortened scales really make it look like it was meant to be that way. How do you cut the bevel side?
