Thread: These scales cannot be original... right?

Hello Forum!

I have a razor which I quite like, marked 'Ramon, Paris':



However, the blade seems too big for the scales:



In fact if you look at the underside of the wedge, the wedge overlaps the end of the blade by several millimetres"



The bottom of the wedge extends much further between the scales than the top of the wedge, and the blade rests against the wedge when between the scales:



These are replacement scales which are too small, right? Razors were never intentionally fitted with scales of a size where the blade rests against the wedge, right?

The pins are steel, with no washers, and match each other. I'm double checking, before I start to consider finding a pair of scales which are a better fit.

Thanks, Ed
