Single Edge Razor Acquisition Thread.

Unknown Hoe Type purchased of Da' Bay, not in the razor bible, any ideas Gentleman ? Have not tried blade mod yet.....reminds me of an Ever Ready type. ( Pay no attention to the dust on the base of the monitor, I will fire the house keeper tomorrow...)

Checked on me weird singles, no match. but looks from round the era when everybody was making single edge flat rigid spineless blades, and weird clamping ways by the dozens.

Don't do any Man-scaping with that...

Could become the worst one-and-done on the forum. Listen to Firedan, Tanuki!

GEM MMOC

I already have an MMOC, but it's the original "bumpless" version. I figured I would try the second version with the two small bumps on the frame that place the modern blades at a shallower angle.

An orphan Ever Ready 1907 ? purchased , once again , on Da' Bay , $20... had a problem I did not see in the pictures, surprisingly, as it is super clean . One blade stop gone, not quite sure why as it had no real brassing like it has hardly been used. So I looked up "Stop repair" here , and saw the post from 2011.... I bumped that post and added my razor but thought I would briefly share here .... brass screws, drilled holes, acid core flux, high wattage soldering iron, used regular solder as I had no silver solder, but I held the machine screws with the tension of the stainless gem blade: this allowed a firm steady hold to solder the backs, then move to the top and fill in the screw slots. A little file work on top, a snip on the excess screws on the back and a little more file work, and there ya have it.... not perfectly straight, but now a fully usable razor.. I could have used smaller screws but had none, and truthfully, even with magnifiers, the eyes, steady hands and patience are not what they used to be: 0-80 screws are pretty darn tiny and my dad had these laying around in his model railroad goodie box , so "that's what got used ! " ( sounds like the little rascals or Three stooges, apparently my grammar is not what it used to be ...lol) ....had a fine shave with it this evening , followed up with some Florida water .....
