Sorry, but the blade (nice!) and the scales (optically unbalanced, a-historical shape, and what on earth are those holes doing in there?) do not fit together at all.
I think that you have done well. It is your razor! Enjoy the learning and the use of it. It should be comfortable in your hand and on your face. I have a few nice shaving razors with that blade shape. Besides that, the blade is from a company in production from 1810, they must have done something right! Illigetimi non carborundum:thumbup:
Enjoy your new-found knowledge and a nice razor.
Respectfully
