Thread: The Butchered Blade

My leg (calf) hairs seem a little more wiry and beardlike than my arm hairs, and easier to hide the shaved patches when I get a little overzealous on my testing.

Thanks Thug, I am becoming a fan of them. Always liked their kitchen carvers and heard nothing but praise on the Zwillingswerks blades.
The 14 had great audible feedback, the inox not so much, but still a great shaver. Very smooth both.

That's the great thing about 40 denier tights eh Mike.

You know it!!

Shoving a drill bit through is not so hard. Chopping off with a Dremel wheel and dressing on a sander/grinder goes easy. Parts can be had from most anything usually tossed into the bin. JMO

Tom, I have seen plastic or other materials & would have/could have but I was replacing as close to original as I could. I think I have some laying around from broken 3 pin scales. I greatly appreciate your opinion always though.

Now I know this is going a little far... but if you ever write a "Will"... I would not be offended if that was the razor you willed to me...

OUTBACK! You have done it again! The greatest anvils I have ever seen. Seriously. Keep it up and you will get a reputation that will follow you around like a puppy, begging for attention!.. You will be waking up to whimpers at your door!

Yep, Mike is doing the hookup on anvils here lately but the free offer will end soon since he has other things to do like fix straight razors. He's fast too..............
I've had so many issue arise lately that I haven't been spending as much time on my straights as I would like to. I hope something gives soon so I can put my attention back to what I love & that is straights!

Thanks B52, I've been pushed over the edge, we are in uncharted territory now!

Hey I've got some aquatic keratin that needs straightening. Guess it would be same process as bovine...?
My question... what temperature? And would you go with dry or wet heat?
B52 talked about hot oil bath... you get a temp on that Mike?
Thanks guys!

Hell... Though that someone took my holloween pictures from last year.
Shoo wee, that guy looks like me with a beard.

Ha ha ha.... Not really. [emoji23]
