Thread: Silver Pins?

I am restoring an old family razor and was thinking of using silver pins. Should I use silver? Where can I get silver rods and washers for the pins? I found a site that carries silver rods but the smallest diameter is 1/8 inch.

Try Texas Knife supply and you want to search Nickel Silver

Thanks. Is there much variance in diameter across brands?

Most people will just tell you to get #0 washers. That is a good average size for razors, and that is a standard that transcends brands.

silver and nic-silver are too totaly different thing
nic-silver has no real silver in it

Silver is $88 per foot @ .128 dia and way to soft for pins


Surepure Chemetals, Precious & Specialty Metals Supplier : Silver : 99.95% Pure Silver Wire/Rod


Nickel Silver rod is what we normally use for razor pins found here @ $1.75 per foot
