But I'm still drawing a bit of a blank . I'm a slow learner.
How does this work? Couldn't find videos. Will need to do more reading because I'm very interested this method!
Thanks for bringing this up!

Thanks Tom. I have that somewhere & I'm sure I could find it but this simplifies it.

Mike, I know what you mean but if the battery runs dead on a cordless drill & ya have nothing else to use at the moment, one could come in handy!

Hand drill, my friend.
Hand drill.

The Parser works Fast, if you were doing Razor badges or shields like for a 7 day set, the old tool would surprise you.

Have any of you ever seen a set of scales in jigged bone like on a knife? I never have seen them on a Razor. Razor scales would seem off if they were heavy weight.

Very cool old technique and tool design. Thanks for sharing. I can't see it doing better than a dremel with the right bits, but for it's time,, awesome.

And test shave was only half there so back to the rocks I go. I know I can do better.

It's gotta be a good tool to use! After all we are all using a straight razor right? That's old school compared to the cartridge type these days!

Have seen plenty. No heavier than bone or ivory.
