Sad to say I have done almost the same thing, more than once. I haven't done that for quite a while now. I feel your pain, though. The bad part is when it happens to a pair of scales that goes specifically with that razor, like a Dble Duck! Yes, I have done it to a Duck. It almost broke my heart! When I now remove pins and it is on scales and a blade that go together, I am very, very careful.

Ironically, I just got an Ebay special that had scales with the Boker tree on them. The blade was trashed and I got it really cheap. I actually bought it for a Boker blade already in my inventory that had generic scales.

Live and learn, and be more careful next time.
