Straightening Crooked Scales
Oh, worthy craftsmen:
I have a 4/8" spike Burrell Cutlery "Top Flight" razor that is a fabulous shaver. I am not all that fond of 4/8" razors, but this one is sweet. Although the original scales have hardly a scratch, they are crooked nevertheless, thus preventing the blade to fit properly in the slot.
I have tried to straighten them by using a hot hair dryer, but to no avail. My next move is to use hot water and see if that works. Obviously, I can have the razor rescaled, but I prefer not to spend the money. Not only that, but the scales are the perfect color and weight for the razor.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Many thanks.
Regards,
Obie

Oh, such clever minds. No, I have not tried this. I will, though. Thank you for the suggestion. Naturally I'll give you my report.
