Thread: flexible frameback

i came into possesstion of a flexable frameback, the frame part slides off the razor, but i dont think its supposed to. any ideas on how to fix that when the time comes.

Pictures would help, since there a heat treated blade that almost rules out soldering or welding. Are any pins that are sheared off? There's always epoxy, glue it solid.

Pictures are needed
Most FrameBacks were made during a time when steel was very expensive so the blade was made from a much thinner separate peace of steel so the cost could be kept down; some FrameBacks came with removable blades so that you could still have a seven day set so you had seven blades and Frame to hold them in
But we need pictures to see if it is designed to have the blade removed or not have a look at the pictures in the FrameBack Fanciers club see if yours looks like any of them

The multi-blade frame backs I've seen have some type of screw at the end of the spine to lock the replacement blade in place.

Is there indication of a threads or anyway of locking the blade in?

for starts, 6myles, its not multiblade frame back. i didnt see any pics of it in the frameback fanciers, so i will be uploading one within the next 90 min or so

here are the pics i promised. the name on the tang is very hard to read, but as best as we can come up with, it says william harmaragan cast steel razor sheffield

Wow, that thing is WILD! I can say I've never seen one like that before, so I will default to other more experienced persons than myself.

i plan on putting some new scales on it, just have to figure out what to uses. kinda in the dark on that one.

I get what were talking about now, do have any pics with it slid off? Do you see any marks on blade that might have held the blade in place? Ie grooves, holes, dents? If there aren't any then some epoxy might be the fix. I'm guessing that it was probably hammered in place and was held by friction. If it's worked loose I wouldn't try hammering or pressing back in place.

Someone in the forums had this problem a while back. I can tell you that you dont want to try hammering or squeezing it on with pliers. I'm pretty sure thats what the guy ended up doing and it messed up the razor. If memory serves, there were some viable solutions in the thread. If I can track it down I'll post it.
