Anybody do something to a razor that you felt like an idiot for making afterward?? Share them here and maybe we can learn from them, and not feel as bad about our own goof ups!


A while back I had several razors I was working on and wanted to disassemble them so I could clean the pivots better and make some templates (so I could copy the scales accurately if I wanted).
Long story short, I took a beautiful Wade & Butcher chopper that looked almost new (except for some rust at the pivot) and I ruined one of the scales and two of the quarter inch bullseye washers. Now I'll never rush the work if it could lead to mistakes and never disassemble a good razor unless I absolutely have to.
I know I made other newbie mistakes, but that one still really bugs me.
