So I ordered a Dovo 5/8 blonde buffalo horn. I was so excited when I received it yesterday that I don't remember anything between the time I was notified that it arrived and the time that I actually held it in my hands. Then... (suspense music)... I noticed that when I fold the blade into the scales, it had to be centered-in every time I close it. In other words, the blade would touch the left side of the scales if I didn't center it every time.

This is a brand new razor, so now I have to wait for the new(er) one to come in and return the one I have now. Obviously it's not the retailer's fault, as a matter of fact, they were very happy to replace it.

I was just wondering, have any of you guys ever experienced something like this with a new razor, particularly bone/horn? Also, does this mean that this type of scale can eventually warp with time? What are your experiences with these types of scales?
