    Sigh. Nice PIF.

    But I have to remind myself that I already have an ABC set and recently got a pocket case for my gold ball-end OT, so I'm not in.

    Not in, as I have (and love) an Old Type. Someone else needs to experience one. Awesome PIF!

    I’m excited to see who wins this! Although I always wish I had some self control so I’m not number one saying “I’m in!” Hahaha. I have won once being number one, but I’m always afraid that I’m going to forget to get my name in there if I don’t do it when I see it haha.
    Long story short,
    Good luck everyone!!

    I'm in, please! Great PIF! I would especially like to have a chance to examine that repair up close, because I have a couple cracked ball-end handles to fix somehow -- News or Techs IIRC.

    OK... tried to resist but it does look fantastic.

    I'm in.

    Not a whole lot to show, on the finished product. The original cracks are still visible, if you look hard enough and are looking specifically for them, but otherwise imperceptible.

    I followed these instructions:
    https://www.badgerandblade.com/foru...dles-shafts-in-gillette-old-types-etc.406419/

    Used a cut-down brass plumbing carriage bolt (5/16"), theoretically to retain like materials between the bolt and razor handle. Mixed up some LocTite 2-part Marine epoxy and coated the bolt. After inserting it in the handle I added a bit more epoxy to the mating surfaces between the handle and threaded end. Clamped it all together for 2 days and it's solid as a rock now.

    Sorry for the confusion. I have been on a flight for the last 3 hours or I would’ve answered sooner.

    Thank you for such a generous offer. Please add my name to the hopper.

    BTW, is that blade vault a gutted Zippo?

    Very generous PIF. In, as long as being from the UK is OK. :D I'll cover shipping costs
