Pinning Question...

**Slartibartfast** · 05-17-2009, 10:44 PM

I've tried pinning this razor twice and each time the blade is loose when it is straight out, like a japanese razor. But tight in every other position.

My uneducated guess is i'm geting a little too happy and bending the pins.. ideas?

after unpinning these again...i was definately going a little crazy.

my problem now(have not re-pinned yet) is that the brass spacer i made seems a little too small for these wood scales... bah!

Be patient it is a learning process and you will get there. i am in same boat. pin and repining couple times .finally i get right. good luck

I have to agree with that patience. Before I even tried first time I took a piece of brass rod, old knackered scales, some washers and kept pining and taking scales apart and pining again and so on. About fifteen times. When I started to be happy with the outcome I went and tried to do my first real razor. It took me 5 times to pin and take it apart before I was happy. But now it shines and my grandad would be proud of the job I did to his razor.

Did you taper your spacer? That alone might fix the problem.
