Hi everybody,

My brand-new Dovo is the gift that keeps on giving (trouble to me).

Context: Most likely due to too high pressure when stropping, I broke the scales next to the pivot. I glued them with super glue and replaced the pin with a 1/2" micro-fastener. The problem is that the glue job is not super good on one side, and I need to push the blade inside when I close the razor.

Symptoms: I hear a scratching sound on my strop only on one side, and the tip doesn't really get stropped. That roughly matches the contact point between the blade and the scales. I feel this is making stropping harder to achieve.

A visual inspection gives me the feeling that the edge is a bit bent at that place, but that's a 'hard to tell' case.

Replacing the scales is on my to-do list. Besides that, what should I do???

Thanks in advance!
