I've wanted to build a gaming pc for a few years now and with the stay at home order forcibly cutting my spending, I had some extra disposible income. I am pretty dang happy that it booted up on the...

I only post hone of the days when I'm 3 sheets to the wind! Can't tell ya how many posts I deleted when I've had too much social lubrication :roflmao

I'm a fan of going back a stone once or twice in honing a razor. In particular, I like jumping to an 8k to reveal issues. When I look at an edge at 2k or 5k, the stria can mask issues that are plain...

Got this one apart, getting the dubl duck dwarf and my Bartmann 89. If I'm lucky, I may get all three put back together by the end of the week. Vacations aren't too shabby!

What in tarnation happened to your finger? Glad to hear you're on the mend!

I have to use up my remaining PTO, so the next few days I'll hopefully get a couple razors rescaled (with pics!)

Picture you are referencing is prior to my honing. I fixed it, just forgot to include in the laundry list of repairs done and yet to be done. So, no I'm not honing on the stabilizer.

Been wanting a Dubl Duck for quite some time, but haven't had an opportunity to get one on the cheap and isn't cell rotten to the bone.

Lucked out on the 'bay and picked up this Dwarf for a song. ...

How much would you require for rent so I can live in your shave den?

Sounds like I need an upgrade from my 2x4, definitely not enough real estate...

Got more work done on those scales. I though abouy scrapping them and starting fresh with some black acrylic, but I really liked the shape that I had ended up with, so I stuck with it.

No good...

It was beautiful out, so did some scale work for the Berg razor

The material I am working with is a faux tortoise shell acrylic sheet. Unfortunately, I found out pretty late it the process that...

Happy New Year gents!

Been awhile since I could actually do some heavier restoration work. And when I did it was outside, with a buncha people looking at me weird. You don't see guys grinding on...

It's definitely an old one. Although not reground too much, as it is a monster wedge,, pushing over 8/8 ��

I've had this Greaves wedge for awhile. Tossed er in the neatsfoot for a couple weeks, then a few months of rest, with the occasional time with the 1k. There were some rust spots...

I said I was sorry...

But then we don't get as much razor porn....

Maybe we should help her keep 'im in there?

Tom, if it is a skeleton key, try a "T" or "L" shaped piece of metal to open it up. Those don't have pins and are easier to pick.

The wife is gunna be PO'd when she notices a burner doesn't work! Nice work!

No pictures, but today I moved my parents into their new townhouse. We haven't lived less tha 600 miles apart for all...

I like to use a C-clamp on the tang and put a block of wood under the sponge/rag. If you use the clamp on a table as well, you can 2-hand the dremel.

Rest an elbow on the table or both on your...

Not a bad idea, although extreme. If penetrant doesn't work, I will probably do something along these lines. However, I'll probably use my fridge and warm water.

I have an inkling that the parts...

I'm posting at work, so it's not on hand :(

Thanks for the removing ring ideer, I shoulda thought of that. I did oil it some, but nothing specific for penetration. Heh, astro glide might work!...
