How you doin?

 

jen, they need your pic in the leg lather thread...

 

I just have to share my excitement...

I just successfully used this method on a short handle super adjustable...for all those nay-sayers that said it couldn't be done, you, good sirs, I respectfully decree, are wrong!

When I received my SHSA, it was froze up, nothing but the adjustment knob turned, so it was useless, and figured I'd give it a shot, can't lose anything, after all. Finally got it apart, gave it a good cleaning, soaked the TTO knob/handle assembly in simple green, then put a couple of drops of dish washing liquid on the handle, some pliers, and eventually it turned a little, kept twisting for about 5 minutes and it finally started to turn by hand, though still not freely. another 5 minutes and it was perfect.
Reassembly went well, crimping the connector back was the most difficult part, but now I have a usable, very clean and smooth action, short handle adjustable - though I did muck up the finish, some black paint should take care of that. Again, it was either great finish on an unusable razor, or scratches on a great razor.

So yes, the super adjustable is disassembleable (is that a word?)

 

Good stuff Jim.

Good night everyone, I'm out.

 

I know, something happened and it got deleted, I'll have to take another one

 

Slow night in here.

Hey Jen, Jim, Rodd.

How are the three of you (and anyone else who happens to be in here)?

 

...better hurry

 

I'm good...still basking in the glory of my super adjustable takedown and reassembly, and it's gloriousness of being usable!

Rodd, any suggestions for repainting it?

 

Hey Dom I'm doing good, how are things?

 

I went out to eat with friends ,. soon to bed time here. Have to be back up at 0400 for work thingie.

Hey Calvin, I purchase a "mixed bag" of razors over at the B last week, it's got a bunch of GEMs in it...when I get some pics taken, I'll let you see if'n any interest you

I just got sniped on one i wanted on the bay.. i do not like that at all.. there is not time to bid against anyone with that. I do not care what anyone says that is not an auction. Not sporting at all.


Fuzzy

 

I'll probably need some help ID'ing them as well

 

Well I am not as good as it as Dave is but I know a thing or two. Will be using my 1908 Superior tomorrow morning again. Going to use it until I ware the blade out.


Fuzzy

 

See Jim! You can be useful sometimes.

Glad you got it working.

Things are going pretty well.

I see you're still super busy at school. Tracy and I are planning to bust in there soon. I've almost completed my hippie training.

Hope you had a nice evening there, Fuzzy.

Goodnight to you.

 

here's a pic from the post I bought it from:

 

Oh. You're still around, Fuzzy. I'm basically done trying out new DE blades for now and wouldn't mind a go with the Gem you were going to loan me. Can you go ahead and ship it over at your convenience?

 

Is that a bucket? It should be a bucket.

 

nope, it's a bowl o' razors!

 

oh, and, apparantly, Proraso...
I love the stuff, but how much longer I gotta keep pushing it?
