Everkeen razor rework

[Tony'schin]

So,
I picked this little item up ages ago, not sure where from or if it came in a bundle of old tat. I checked a few blade types in to no avail, so into the box of plenty it went.


Until today, as it caught my eye. I thought I'd have a play around with it.

After a quick measure up I fitted and trimmed a DE blade using the razor head as a guide trimming the blade edge to the top of the spine with some sharp scissors.


I then rubbed down the corners of the "shim". As a trial fix I stuck it down with 3 bits of double-sided tape.

Offered up an injector blade, checked alignment and closed everything up.

I will give it a run out next week before I decide whether to make the fix more permanent and clean it all up.
What do you recon, shaver or bacon slicer?

Neat! It's a blade stropper, so the blade protusion with a double-edge blade is right ... for that purpose, but not for shaving. Your modifications to take an injector blade are just right! Sure it'll work out lovely.

These are the ones I'm familiar with.

I'd be Neverkeen to put that near my face! Straights maybe but not that. It looks like it's for wizards to shave their sleeves! I'm guessing nobody strops razor blades any more. Converting a blade stropping holder into an SE razor is pretty cool though. DIY Razorine. Kamikaze kamisori.

That is nigh-on the same as the one I used Toby, by trimming the overhang of the edge on both sides of the DE it gave a "Shim" to cushion the injector blade leaving the edge exposed. Worked a treat.

I’ll tell you what’s very sharp and definitely Everkeen - your slicing wit, old bean. I shall remain Evergrateful that my Rington’s Northumbrian Blend loose leaf tea and the quite wonderful M&S Brammley apple hot cross bun are both safely digesting. When I read your comic quip, I could picture the devastation caused by the rapid ejection of said comestibles over a wide area of the room in which I’m sat. Matron’s wrath would have had me in dire straits indeed. No more ‘Helicocktering’ naked in the day room for me….ever!
