Or have it pinned. A member here did my Robert Williams with which I had the same problem. It looks better and handles much better.

RW uses a small diameter hole in the scales for the screws so it's easier to re-peen. Done it many times. Hart razors use a super wide hole which makes it impossible to re-peen. The scales also have a huge counterbore hole which fits the Hex nut.

This quarter hollow whisked away the 2 days growth with one of the most outstanding shaves in a long time! 3 passes left me BBS with the 'Hirlua water' going on like a whisper, leaving me with two thumbs up from SWMBO!

Have a Great Wednesday Gents!

Of all the honing tests we do I guess the SWMBO test trumps them all. Good for you JoeSomebody.
