    Default Where do you get "thrust washers"?

    A few questions:

    1. Do most straight razors even USE thrust washers (thin washer between blade and scale on each side)?

    2. Where do you get them? The ones on knife-making sites are usually too large for our use!

    3. Does anyone know if the Hess "44" used them? (I have a disassembled one on my bench!)


    As usual, thanks for the help.

    Joe,

    you can get them at microfasteners.com
    There's brass, nylon, stainless,...
    I always use them in my restores. I can't help you about the Hess but not every vintage razor I dismantle uses washers.

    Yes the Hess uses them, you have e-mail with links also....
    The ones from microfasteners work just fine but I find them slightly thick, if you want them like the vintage ones here is a thread to look at
