Thanks a lot Torbs,
I want to try to repin the scale, just to know if I can do it. The scales are made of poor plastic in poor condition ( a lot of deep cracks). So if I break the scale while repinning, it will not be a big loss.
Just some question, I have read Ray's article and i'd like to use brass tube to fill the pivot hole, use a brass rod (diameter 1mm to 1,5mm) and mini inox flat washers (outer diameter 2,5mm) from a model maker shop, do I make something wrong? how much play is needed between tube and rod?
The wedge is 1mm wide and the tang 4mm, do I have to change for a wider wedge ( it seems that the blade closes on the scale)?
At present time, I'm looking for a good coticule to learn honing technique. So, the scale's look is not important to me.
But as soon as I will be able to hone this razor, I will change the scale if I find it is a good shaver.
So yes, I'm a patient guy and your spalted pecan scales look very beautiful!
