Thread: How to tighten a straight razor

Thanks everyone, Just tightened up 2 razors that were just starting to annoy me.
Thanks Brian

Good advice. Pretty easy but if you are impatient it's a real hurt to crack a scale..

All,
Thanks for the great advice. I was able to tighten my pin near the tang. I used a small ball peen hammer and the flat part on the back of bench vice. I took my time and tapped gently on both sides. My Wade and Butcher's Choice is now holdable to shave with. I just have to send it to Lynn for a good honing then I can start shaving. Well after I watch Lynn's video again and again



Thanks again,
-Jim
