Just wondering, I have a few blades I cleaned and polished and made scales to put on them but I was wondering if it's better to hone the blades first? I find it easier to hone without the scales because it's easier to keep the blade flat but is this bad technique? I now I won't get much better at honing doing it this way since most razors I'll want to work on later will have scales. Would the reduced weight(from not having scales) cause any issues?
