OH! That's not too much! Looks fine!
I always say a half-inch either side of the pivot pin is optimal!
I have a few which are not there.

That balance is close enough it should be easy to strop. I have a few razors that are way out of balance and I hate stropping them. They see very little use, until of course they get new skins. Nice work my friend, I like the wood with a liner and the workmanship.

Requires patience though.. The Beefwood has a nice almost metallic sheen in the grain. I was worried the brass was too thick. I sanded the wood down to about 1/2 mm. Again thanks for the compliments gents. Now for a shot of rye and a glass of the homebrew.

I can see you now, on a winter hike.
I just knew I'd seen your face somewhere before.

So here's the last naked Henckels all scaled up. Beefwood with about 20 coats of Tru-oil, brass spacer and a black liner with a CA coating. I hit the Tru-oil with rubbing compound. Brass collars from Mr. Keene on the bay, and an aluminum spacer. Brass pins of course..
