Thread: wedge angle

Then we shall have our angle. Of course, we still have to figure out that angle of the taper of the tang from the thick part of the spine to the pivot.

That is in the adjustment for length, be careful thinking that this is an exact science, I am simply giving you a starting point

If you start with using that formula then half the battle is done, the rest is fitting it to each razor, and Mock up Bolts and Nuts from Microfasteners or the like will be your new BFF's

Good Luck and please post pics

Will do, but to be completely honest, you may have convinced me that my first few should be western kamisoris.
