I just got my first straight in the mail yesterday. It came from classicshaving.com through Lynns honing service and its pretty darn sharp! I just used it for my first straight shave ever!
Well the shave didnt go super well, I was having a hard time figuring out how to shave all the different areas. Even though Ive been watching videos and reading up on how to do this for the last month, its just a different beast when you actually go and try!
No cuts or razor burn, woot, but a ton of hair left still =(

Anyway, after I was done with the shave I noticed that the blade almost hits the scale when it is closing, in fact it does hit the scale, but the edge barely misses it I think. There is enough room for 1/4 of a hair to fit between the scales and blade.... Sometimes the balde moves a little closer and sometimes a bit farther.
You guys think its something to worry about? Here is a pic.
