Thread: The extra collars..

A few of the razors i've taken apart had a fifth collar, both times on the pivot end.

Check out the pic.

The top 3 collars were all on the back side of the razor, two stacked on top of each other at the pivot end. The 2 middle ones were on the front side. They middle two are solid and the top ones are like little halved tubes. What is the difference?



I've seen the extra washer before and just though yeah, bonus washer!! But seeing it a second time made me want to ask if there is some significance in its use.

Also after seeing the pics is it worth reusing this hardware? I have new pinning kits i can use but i figured id get a some educated opinions. I know there is some appeal to reusing original parts but i'm not the best judge yet of the integrity of these tiny things.

Right now the scales are clamped between some boards in the freezer so i wont be getting to repining till tomorrow.

Thanks!
