Thread: Wapi(s) deluxe

Good evening Gentlemen,
After seeing all those nice works from you guys here, and after now 7 days of shaving with a str8 - getting better every day - I was tempted to upgrade some of my Wapis. The 9/16 blade got natural colored Pakkawood scales, bought at Classic Shaving, then mounted to a C.F. Schwartz razor, that turned out to be un-honable (at least for me), finally removed them and put them on a new 9/16 Wapi blade that certainly deserves them.

The second one is a 5/8 Wapi, bought shave ready from heavydutysg135 with original metal scales. Its new scales are self made out of a piece of a sheet of clear acrylic, bought at Home Depot. I like simple solutions. The spacer is cut out of a Canadian 5 Cent coin. Pins are made out of brass rod and tubing, the tubing is also used to fill the space inside the pivot hole of the blade. This had to be adjusted a little.
My thanks go to Bill Ellis for sending me his CD. I learned quite a bit from it, I believe. Thanks, Bill!
