Well as you know my first attemp at customizing a razor went fairly well but overall I was not pleased, so I decided to scrap the clear arcrylic scales, then after removing them and thinking what I was going to do, i thought lets keep it contempary and modern so off came the rounded toe from the blade on the grinder, she's starting to look very different, now arcrylic opaque scales would look far better with a opaque wedge, but still I had a problem, the last set of pins and washers I purchased were from the invisible edge, all I can say about those were they were absolute rubbish, well I asked would anyone sell me a set on the shaving room then along came a really nice bloke called Graham also know as Exile, well not only did he send me pins and washers, but mock up bolts, and lovely pinng examples that he had put together, plus several other goodies, but more importantly sound clear and precise information,, I am really pleased with the finish on this razor, I used a double washer on the pins purely as a decorative feature, Iv'e honed the razor and it's ready to shave, I will give it a go, but I dont think i would have got here so quickly without the help of Graham so a big thank you. PS, before some of you ask, my anvil is a 40LB lump of steel I found while walking my dog one night, I had to carry it about a mile on my shoulder.
