I spent a career in Tyveks, double cotton coveralls, and full and half mask respirators in the nuke industry. The Tyveks were worse because they didn’t breathe.

Might want to consider an air line...

PaulFLUS, nice job!

A SBD could be considered a deadly weapon, lol!

Interesting. In Tennessee, you can carry a switchblade. I assume that there are some length restrictions, but do not know.

However, you can’t carry a switchblade or a knife over 4” with ‘the...

Outstanding Mike,

And a merry Christmas to all the SRP gents!

Lol, where’s Zak? He has undoubtedly catalogued all the stamps !

Birchwood Casey Rust Inhibiting Grease (RIG Universal) is good stuff too, I’m surprised that you don’t see it mentioned on razor forums.

Oh no, the stone came off Yahoo Japan. I just sent Alfredo the image and he suggested what you did.

Jerry, that’s EXACTLY what Alfredo said and he sent me this image with the red lines! Great minds think alike.

First shave today Paul, it’s a good one! IME, diamond plate slurry on a freshly...

Yes it’s Japanese. No idea of the mine, I actually got it off the base pretty easily to clean the wood up, but there’s no skin on the back. It has black skin but it doesn’t sparkle like Nakayama...

Big, ugly, and thick, but cleaning up well. Kind of like me. Washed it with water and a non-scratch pot scrubber and removed something pinkish with a bronze brush. Lapped it and smoothed the surface....

Nice work Jerry!

When I grow up, I want to be Mike.

Wowzaa Mike!

You da man Mike!

I am inclined to give the makers a bit of a pass on celluloid scales. Razors of all types have always been consumable products, they get used and used up, especially with ham fisted barbers using...

So, when you have a 10-20 year collection of fine vintage and rare straight razors, how much does it cost per shave?

Lol, enjoy life while we have it gentlemen, pools, straight razors, hones, fine...

Hang in there Tom!

Thank you sir!

Zak, what’s the purpose of that latch? I can’t glom onto a reason why they would go to a significant amount of fabrication expense.

Cheers,

To photograph translucent scales, try cutting a piece of aluminum foil to go between them to act as a reflector. Many times it works wonders.

Or maybe SM lol?

I’ve often wondered if the scales were made by the same people/companies that made the blades. Maybe not always? So maybe a maker’s mark or a size designation for a certain width...

Wowzaa! Thank you Mike!

Beautiful work Mike, I’m so happy to have that razor in good hands!
