My Dovo razor seems off

Newbie here. Got my first straight razor, and I noticed that one side of the blade starts rubbing up against the scales before it closes completely, meaning that there's tension on the blade. It seems that it's just not straight on the pivot pin, or perhaps the wood on the scales is warped. Either way, the pivot pin just compensates by bending in the other direction to close all the way. I wanted to check if you guys know whether or not this is OK, and what to do if it's not OK.

Here are some pictures, but it's hard to catch it well with still pictures.

Also I apologize for the pictures not being in portrait mode. Couldn't figure out how to fix that. Thanks in advance.

From your pics it does look like either the pinning wasn't right or it got damaged in shipping. Did you buy it new? If so first thing to do is contact the seller and see how they want to address the issue

I would agree if you bought it new contact the seller, even if you bought it used and the seller added the scales I would insist that it be fixed. When I list a razor, razor rack or whatever I offer a money back guarantee.......if the buyer isn't happy, I'm not happy!

Thanks for the advice. I did indeed buy it new from a prestigious shop in Switzerland. I will drop them a line asking if there's anything that can be done, but since I'm back in Reykjavik already it might be complicated.

Pretty easy fix.

It all looks pretty straight just not centering properly. Should just need a bit of correction at the pin. Is it a little loose at the pin or quite tight?

It's tight enough to hold any angle, and there's no give at all, besides when you push it into the scales all the way.

A bit of adjustment at the pin should fix it. Still not something you should have to do with a new razor

Spoke to a local barber, and he seems to think I'm overreacting, and that something like this will never impact the blade in any way. What are your thoughts on that? Am I nitpicking?

Most likly will be fine,but overall the razor is defictive.

As long as the working part of the blade isn't touching it should be ok. It shouldn't be like that on a new razor though, it should center without touching

As long as the edge doesn't contact the scales and you are careful closing it it shouldn't affect function but it isn't how it should be and as its new then its been sent out defective.
