[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 3114945, member: 360"]This took me two days to complete, but here we are... My mission was as follows: Take two broken razors, and build one working razor from the two. I was going to take the working blade from one razor, and marry it to the working scales from the other razor. It didn't go 100% to plan, because I cracked the ivory along the stress-points of the pivot, along the way, but the end-result was worth the effort: [ATTACH=full]293924[/ATTACH] The broken scales and the good blade. I saved the pin and the washers so that I could remount the new blade in the other scales. [ATTACH=full]293925[/ATTACH] The ivory scales with the busted blade. [ATTACH=full]293926[/ATTACH] Removing the pin and washers from the ivory scales. [ATTACH=full]293927[/ATTACH] The old blade, out! You can see that there's hardly any cutting-edge left on it. [ATTACH=full]293928[/ATTACH] Waaaah!! I split the scales!! Never mind...just another step in the process. [ATTACH=full]293929[/ATTACH] Rebuilding the scales. I reinforced them with some very thin sheet-steel to give them extra strength. [ATTACH=full]293930[/ATTACH] Popping in the blade.
