    Yeah, I'm guilty of that on a couple. Just wanted to use the blade so I left a couple things that weren't "perfect". Nothing structural, just not what I had envisioned. My "I'll come back and fix it later" razors.

    My wife has a saying: Practice makes perfect and nobody's perfect, so you better keep practicing. She pulls it out when I or my kids are being frustrated with something.

    Nice job, JJ-As others have said, every razor restore/rescale teaches us something. I will probably never do scales in G10 except as a liner because I just prefer to work with acrylic when I want synthetic scales, but those look good with that blade.

    Well-said, Karl!
    I have come to realize I can either do it now.....Or do it later!
    Besides, I can tell myself I knew better and hopefully never do it again.
    The main reason I don't make scales!
