Thread: How to unpin a razor using hand tools while preserving the scales?

Using the method I described above, I can unpin virtually any razor in 30 seconds. It's easy, it's fast, and it doesn't break scales.

On the very rare occasion when I cannot get a bite with the flush cutter because the washer is too flush with the scales, I use a milling bit in a drill press. I drill down just enough to release the washer and then use a punch to remove the pin.
