To long blade or to short scales?
Was looking through the local classified site in hope to find interesting things, and found next 3 razors from one seller. Personally I was a little bit confused, I understand if that was one razor (bad repair or what) but find 3 similar razors pretty weird
There is no description or measures of the blade or scales.I'm not a native speaker, so if someone will correct me occasionally, over time you will understand me better

Looks to me as if it's the angle of the picture taken, I bet they close just fine , and if you ask for a picture of them closed you can find out for sure. Tc

It's the angle. Those are all Soviet blades the first and third are made by Stiz and I believe the second is a Trud. The first one is a Stiz "Vostok 3"(East 3) and it's been rescaled.

It's perception thing.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Agreed, the pictures are upside down, as evidenced by the shadow cast from the razors. Look at them upside down and the blades look respective to the scales. Optical illusion.
