Welcome to SRP. Glad to have ya in the group.
I think what Richard was hinting to was the use of the word handle. In razor (and knives) they are called scales. This is nothing to worry about as we all know what you mean, but learning the proper names of the razor will help you to communicate better.

And if english is not your first language that is ok too. We have members from all over the world and we learn to understand. Its just part of the fun in the forum. So dont worry about that and do the best you can.

We love pictures and if you post up what you do we can help to refine your skills in making scales properly. There are a lot of details that most people miss when making them.

Do you wet shave? Use a straight razor now? You live in an area that is known for some fine razors so you should be able to find some great vintage stuff and quality soaps easy. Join in on the fun and check out the librbary it can help you in many ways.
