    Im going to play with it and see. Ive got it to about 0.100" right now. I think i may work up the sanding grits and see where that lands me.

    Heres an update!

    I have the spacer glued in and everything sanded down to 220. I went with the spacer because I like the blade to sit low in the scales. With the wedge, the scales looked too bowed when looking at the profile of the razor. The spacer evened thing out a little bit.

    The inlay on your old scales (if metal) can be transferred to the wood. A pain in the bottox with that particular inlay but possible.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
