I think post #5 says it all myself :)
You don't want to send it back to Steve at IE, and you have a fellow countryman that is a very good Restorist who is willing to help..
Sounds like a solution to me :)
that makes sense, thanks! I'm still learning :)
It is what is said on the site. It's a shame the OP is too far to warrant a return. Steve would solve it with no hassle.Quote:

4. It shaves BEAUTIFULLY! Note that I'm just getting started with straights, but so far the difference from the bog-standard Dovo Schloss-Burg I've been using is night and day. The size is better for my, and the edge is sharper than I can get the Dovo by myself, so I'm using this exclusively for now.
As for the shaving problems, I can't help you since I'm brand new at this, but I would suggest more time holding it and wielding it. It's very light, and slightly off balance due to the plastic scales, so practicing at using it would probably be worth the time.
In that case the tapping is not going to be the solution at all. Maybe a washer on one side or the other, maybe warped scales. Send Steve an email and see if he won't send out another pair of correct scales at no charge if they are warped. He is good on customer service.Quote:
