Yup, get up where the blade starts to thicken and you are really asking for disappointment. Had I to do over I would have chosen an FBU with a bit more blade below the notch when I started this thread. It's a good shaver, but not my favorite.
Still looking for one worthy of being 'the one FBU' in my kit.
Never know when it'll pop up...always another blade to save though..
Keep em coming gents..

Yup, that's it. Makes music and julienne French fries on a windy day if you toss the potatoes just right!

Hehe ok. It does look great tho and very nice rescued

So collarless pinning puts greater stresses on the scale presumably for as I set the torpedo scales flush, the end split.

Ok, try again with collars as maybe this material is softer when it's thinned out.
Luckily a rub with acetone removed the inlay again.
So here's the second iteration.


Pinned up tight and ready for the stones.

Looks nice.

Somewhere I read about slightly 'countersinking' when pinning washerless. Never tried the washerless 'yet' but I hope someone with a lot of experience can help out.
