Thread: Soldering Worn-out Pivot hole in Razor

Hi... I've been shaving for a few years now... restoring for the last 18 months or so..I just restored a Joseph Rogers & Sons razor with horn scales.. and when disassembling came across heavily worn out pin pivot hole... As and electronics geek, I thought I would try soldering to fill the hole... I made sure the blade didn't get any hotter than hot water would make it... and It seems like it did the trick... I was able to sand down smooth and drill a new hole... Has anyone done that before... Attached are the photos from the restoration...
