I received my first Wapi in the mail today (Telly Bruno). Of course, I'd read about the heavy scales, but needed to judge for myself.
Yep, they're pretty heavy. Saw one post about Dremel'd notches on the scales to counter the weight imbalance. Probably not the sort of project for me.
I am wondering how many folks manage to shave with the original scales or even like that extra weight.
