 Using an xacto knife, cut off a chunk of the cork, and then trim it to fit in the empty space on the razor handle,

Fitting the Magnets

again using an xacto knife cut out a niche for the magnets to sit in so they are snug in the cork.

Glueing It All Together

check to make sure everything fits properly. once you are satisfied use super glue to secure everything in place. first the cork into the handle. then the magnets into the cork. at first i tried to glue all 3 magnets in at once but they just bunched together so i glued each one seperately. wait for all the glue to dry to try it out.

FINISHED!
