    Here in the Wiki is a step by step

    Un-pinning and re-pinning a razor - Straight Razor Place Wiki

    I would also always recommend following the Wiki links to the original threads to read all the asked and answered questions on all the threads..

    Alex/Philadeplh also has a video in there to complement this step by step guide...

    In the webcast is another video of me doing some pin tightening...

    Hope all that helps...

    TY Robin...

    The link to the Wiki article is Un-pinning and re-pinning a razor - Straight Razor Place Wiki (missed a blank there). I also put the videos in the article itself.

    Sterling stuff, thanks to Glen and Alex.

    The only difference with horn is its more fragile so one tap too hard or too many and it can be toast. If its your first I wouldn't start with horn.
