    Not trying to burst your bubble here,as that's a pretty good blade,but that razor has gone a cycle or two on ebay without bids.I had been looking at it too but decided that the scales are probably not original to the blade.If you look closely at the pics,you can see the grind marks around the pins on both sides.Razors can be re-pinned correctly and be un-noticeable,but this one is not done right,and I think it would be hard to correct the dimples in the scales.

    Edit:It's possible that it's gunk around the pivot and just looks ground down,I hope I'm wrong but that's what kept me from bidding.

    hmmm well thats alright...ill post some pics when i get it but if the scales arent originals then i just have another excuse to buy some rosewood and rescale them btw this is a razor i just picked up and made some new scales lol they are actually made from a dried willow tree branch from my backyard now the pinning is pretty bad and overall they are far from pro but these are the 1st scales ive ever made so im thrilled with em hahah oh and its a H. Boker blade extra hollow. the scales are 2x varnished and the "pins" are gold colored wood nails hahahah

    Nice! I thought the scales were ivory at first glance.
