    Thanks, Very informative! What's the name of that particular hole punch so I can order it?

      This one is called
      "EK success heavy duty punch, 1/8 inch circle"
      And I got mine on amazon.
      But I think any punch that is designed to cut through harder materials like thin metal will work just fine. If it's only meant for a few sheets of paper, then it might not last very long.
      Also I think the shape is kind of flexible. As long as it cuts out something roughly the size of what is needed... which in my case is half of that 1/8 inch circle. If it were a square of the same size I'm sure that would work just fine too.

    I think the good part all this way is that you don't bend the razor blade. Good to see that and use I've never tried it.

    Did you figure out how to calibrate the razor?

      No, I have not pursued that

      Yeah, I found two different No. 17 builds. One really was dependent on how much I screwed in the plastic handle.
      But since I stick with setting 3 or below, Mark's issue wasn't really one I faced very often at all.

    How much can I expect to pay for a Gibbs Adjustable?

    • @sgrdddyshaves
      @sgrdddyshaves  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      $200 is about average for the No. 17. That's with a case. More than that is soemwhat common, depending on condition. I know I had to wait quite a while before I found one that was in a price range I wanted.
      Less than $200 is quite a deal if you still have a case. You should watch and make sure the plastic handle is intact and crackless, unless you get a huge discount on it. There are some aftermarket handles out there.

    You could probably do two blades at one time
