I just got my hone in the mail and I decided to do both honing and repinning at the same time. Apparently I used a bit too much force with the brass rod and snapped the tip off one of the plastic scales. Looks like I'm set back a bit on getting started. All of the scale & pin kits that classic shaving have are sold out, except of course for the $70 and up ones.

I guess it's the DE for a bit longer.
