    Dug a lot of stuff out of the bin and resurrected it in some fashion. Gotta do it!

    I don't think I will be lining them, Shaun. They are not that important. But a long shorty would work out well. Now to find a blade with a bad tip. Well, After I finish paying off the C.C. That sucker is haunting me!

    They are blood thirsty demons Jerry. Get rid of them as fast as you can.

    Mega Millions tonight.
    We're all allowed to do at least one boneheaded move in a lifetime. Back when I was still working, I came home on my Harley. I was dirty as always & I washed my clothes & forgot my garage door opener was in my pants but it was too late. I got it out of the washing machine & nothing would work so I took the battery out & blew it out with compressed air. Checked battery, was good so next day I put it in & nothing, not even the led light on it. Found it the other day. It's been at least 10-11 years. I checked the battery & it was still good. I put it in & the red led light came on. I tried it but nothing. I moved the code switches back & forth & put the right code back in it. Darn thing works! It had pelny of time to air out. If it wouldn't have worked, I was going to spray some Deoxit in it. That stuff works good for radio/stereo/guitar volume & tone pots when they start getting static sounding.

    You may not know it, but I am a collector of shorties!
    I've got a dozen ready to fix around here somewhere.
    If you want I will see what I have..?
    A Herdershorty maybe?

    Come to the shorty side Jerry!
    Muahahahahahah!

    Thanks guys. I made a shorty once before but it a very short shorty. But its smiling like a big dog. Im all for making another. Hate to waist the scales i just made. And i wont make this mistake again! I hope.

    Looks like ive got a max length of 4 3/16 from pivot pin to tip. So ive you do have something that will fit send me a PM and we'll talk.

    I also have a shorty, thanks to Outback! He guided me through the process of how to cut down the blade and it turned out really nice. From heel to toe it is 2". Also had to cut down the scales to fit. Mike sure knows how to take a broken razor and make it into a serviceable one!
