Another consideration.. I hate, hate, HATE the looks of those nails that they sell for pins. I dislike them so much that I re-pin any new razors that I buy. It's better to "make both ends" of the pins IMO. Of course, I'm sure that there are some people who like that look, once again it's a matter of personal preference. Look, I avoided using the term YMMV! Damn.

I hate them too, Tack!
Even the people in the factories that use them must hate them - I cannot believe the amount of hammering that has been given to some of these tacks because it was cut off too long. I have re-pinned a fair few and it is not uncommon for the pivot tack to be bent into almost a 'v' between the scales.
Coupled up with the huge thick friction washers they give a rather hulking look that suits precious few models, IMHO.
Regards,
Neil

Sure, assuming that the length of the nail and the thickness of the scale assembly allows it. Those dadblamed nails are available in three lengths.. if you must use them, get the longest ones. Originally Posted by robert2286
