Great information all around! Especially about the Safety Glasses... I actually have two pair within easy reach for just that reason but still wear them only half the time... Gotta get better about that!!!!!!!
I did more work this past weekend on Razors and cut my disassebmly time from about 30 minutes to a minute and half using the flush cutters!
Thanks for all the information! If I had all day every day I'd never be able to absorb all that is here so I'm just trying to soak up and use what I can as I go!
Just an absolute total blast!
Here's a pic of some of my latest work:
Top Left: Boker 'Red Injun' that I unpinned, cleaned up/shined, re-pinned, honed and is now good to go.
Top Right: Century Cutlery 'Radio Steel' that I had previously put new scales on and just got a touch up on the Naniwa and re-stropped with paste to bring it to a bit better level.
Bottom Left: Wostenholm 1XL that was an eBay grab that just needed cleaned up/shined and honed.
Bottom Right: My first 'usable' WB from some time back that was my first successful hone to 'Shaving Sharp', just got a touch up run through a better pyramid I'm trying out then run through my better srops.
Bottom Center: WB 'Special' that was a more recent eBay grab just taken apart and ready for a week of hand-polishing/shining and honing coming up. Used my new purchase of a set of Flush Cutters and dropped my tear down time from about 30 miinutes to a minute and a half!

Thanked: 1371Re: Flush Cutter Recommendations
I use angle cutters and grind them flat on the bottom with my DMT 325. If a pin is hard enough to ding them, I just grind them flat again.
I've been using the same pair for over two years.

They are found in the " make your own jewelry" section at Walmart and Hobby Lobby

You can get good deals on eBay for used high quality cutters. The smaller the tip of the flush cutter, the better to grab pins from old razors. I use steel pins on my razors now. If you do not use cutters with high quality steel, the edge will snap and chip.get good ones even if they are used.

I've never done any razor restoration... but you can get about any kind of cutters (Flush cut etc.) from Snap-on Tools... If you don't have a local dealer you can order them online at Snap-on: Hand Tools, Power Tools, Tool Boxes, Automotive Diagnostics and Shop Equipment
