    Some sobering numbers / reality check

    Events of recent years has shown me life is fleeting. I have enjoyed my razor obsession and still do, just differently I suppose. Razor guys are some fine friends. Most all are decent sorts. Fun to share with. That is the best part, I think. Picking out something you restored a few years...

    Some sobering numbers / reality check

    Your graph looks like my stocks, Bruno. Straight shavers are rare, it seems. The crop from a few years back could not cut the mustard......As it were. As men stop wearing buns, we may be able to share more. It's a little work to properly shave with a straight IF you know what you are...

    Advice on honing a large wedge

    Norton 1K is great, but will take a long time. Slurry it with something! Tape the damaged spot with electrical tape around. Seems one width will do. Half- hone the adjacent sides, swooping a bit and avoiding the tape. You will know as you can bridge the gap and do complete strokes. Idea is to...

    Advice on honing a large wedge

    Way before 1912! Search EL & Co.The bottom of the E is gone. That Coti is a long ways off. Just stay clear of the damage til you bring the rest down to it.

    Advice on honing a large wedge

    Advice on honing a large wedge

    Seems a sin to cut those. About like other things taken from nature.

    Shop Tips and Tricks

    Good idea, Charlie. Reminds of my tripod light I made from an old telescope stand and an old desk lamp. Good to put light on the subject and very adjustable. I even extend one leg way out to get it up against a fender to shine under hoods. Handy stuff!
