    I received mine today.

    Two things that I didn't like:

    1) The scales, just like you say, are bad. It looks like he found a bunch of these blades "scaleless" and dress them in a cheap set of scales;

    2) The "shave ready" status is not quite true, according to my standards, but that's not my main problem, I'll hone it just the way I like it. The honing process the razor went through has given it a slight hone wear.

    But still, fantastic razor for the price.

    Thanks guy's,
    It is indeed a 7/8", Maximilian.
    I saw the hone wear too & i also honed it before i posted about it, as it wasn't as sharp as i felt i could get it.
    I still love it though & if i don't bugger the scales up, i'll love it even more!
    I'll post some photo's when it's done.
    Ditch Doc, I'll pm you when you can have them.

    Cheers

    I contacted the seller. He said he only had 7/8" but i was welcome to return it to him for a refund. I suggested that he amended the sale details. Interested to see whether he does.
    There's no way i'm sending it back though. I love it! Even in 7/8" it looks huge.
    Just be aware that they're 7/8" if ordering one.

    I measured it right now and in fact it's a 7/8. That means that alll of them shrunk
