Glueing razor blades
« on: November 26, 2014, 01:22:00 PM »
Any body ever way back when glue razor blades to your heads . Did it with  three blades  . Then came the little shaver and oo3 heads that had razors in them. Can't imagine doing that now !

Never done it...have heard about it though.

back in the day (70s) it was not uncommon, but then came the Wasp and Savora. Then Satellite and Razorbak and then they all had replaceable already sharp blades.

The late Jack Howard glued razor blades to his heads. I tried it with some Bodkin heads but never got decent arrow flight. So I went back to Bear Razorheads and Deadheads.

yep-if they were not just near perfect, the flight was erratic

I did it all the time with Bear Razorheads. We used a rubber cement and Schick injector blades. I once crimped an injector blade 90 degrees into a Razorhead. Very deadly. The Savora and Wasp put a stop to it though.

I still have the 3blade little shaver broad heads I bought in '73'. Still have a pack of blades as well.

I still have a 3 blade head that Jack Howard made up for me with razor blades. He used a Woodsman broadhead. Very deadly head.

I've killed a few animals (deer and hogs) with Woodsmans I fixed up myself. No flight problems and very good performance.

I would like to see a picture of that reddogge if you have any.
