The only razors that left scratches for me were a spike point razor and I was doing to much of rolling pattern that I corrected as soon as I noticed what I was doing and a razor with hone wear that developed a spike at the stabilizer (a new razor shouldn't have that)
I appears that it is only on the one side. I'm right-handed, so it would be the left-side of the spine (when holding blade side down straight in front of me). The other side does not appear to have the same issue.
