Your Help Needed: Requesting Info for the B&B Wiki

[cfriend]

Hey B&B. I've posted a thread like this before for photographs in the dark room, but thought I'd start a fresh one in the Safety Razor thread for general information missing from the Wiki. If you can provide the requested information or photographs, allow me to say thank you on behalf of the entire B&B community for your assistance!

The fine-print details, modified from my photograph request thread:

In this thread I (and anyone else with similar intentions, should they desire) will be posting requests with items requiring information or high resolution photographs for the wiki. Should you have any of the items requested and the time/desire to research, identify, and/or photograph them for use in the wiki, please quote the original request and post your addition in a reply. The subject of the photograph should be immediately clear and items included for reference should not overshadow the subject. By answering a request and posting an image of your own creation, you grant permission for it's reproduction in use for on B&B and the B&B Wiki.

Thanks in advance B&B, you're the best.

I am working on Gems and was going to start the Injectors next. However, this is the second or third time I have seen the Rolls mentioned recently. I was going to do that third but maybe I should get it out of the way. I have a couple of different ones for pics.

Funny, I am (slowly) working on Gems too. Maybe we should collaborate so we don't overlap to an unnecessary degree? More evidence to the need for wiki-meetings

Every time I start a new one, I have been posting a Gem Guru thread for that purpose. We just did the G-Bar. Not a lot of response to that one. I was thinking of doing the 1912 or 1924 in the next day or two. Where are you at?

There is a Work In Progress 1912 entry already, and I believe I have a Micromatic entry saved as a text document on some computer. It took me a long time to decide whether it was GEM or Gem, and I have finally settled on Gem. Now that THAT'S out of the way... the work can begin

Am I correct in guessing the weight you want for the Rolls would be for the handle and blade only? Otherwise, its going to be massively heavy comparatively...also, does anyone besides me have a Rolls Razor stamped "demonstration only"?

maybe weights of the different components?

If you wouldn't mind doing three separate measurements: handle, blade, handle AND blade; it would be helpful. Someone long ago weighed a tech in separate pieces, figure we may as well continue for the sake of uniformity

Am I correct, Bluepunk, that you mean "I shouldn't weigh the strop/hone/case when weighing the razor"--right?
