So my three year old Dovo Special in 6/8 with tortoise scales sat peacefully in my razor rack awaiting its next turn in my rotation. It shows up every 30 days. Sometime between the last time I used it and yesterday the scales decided to warp - worse on the side that has the metal Dovo emblem inserted in the scale.

I have seen this many times in old scales on razors I have purchased - but never on one that is only three years old. Anybody have any ideas why they would warp. There is no heat source like lamps or blow dryers anyplace near the rack.
