Great work Glen,
Not taking the etching away is a huge ++. Much better than i thought after seeing the before pics. Nice scales too. I think there is not much blades of that sizes waiting for someone to pick them.'That is what i do. I drink and i know things'

Lovely! I really love all these acrylics you use, they look modern and classic at the same time.
So is the balancing nail the most important bit of kit in the shop Glen..?

You are absolutely right about the balance point and the weight of the scales.
When the razor is held open in the hand for shaving the scales serve as a counter-balance for the blade which normally puts the center of balance of the whole straight razor (blade + scales) approximately right on an imaginary line running up through the lower arm.
Because the center of balance of the razor occupies this 'sweet spot' (in line with the lower arm) the razor is easier to rotate and handle.

Thanked: 13234Ignatz:
You would think it would be so obvious wouldn't you...
Honestly if you actually read some of the responses from a few of the guys, you will soon see there is a bit of an inside joke about those balance pics...
You have pm

Thanked: 953I've got the bahamma mama kama from Glen, and he is the master of balance. That thing just melts in my hand and feels like an extension of my arm.
