I cleaned this razor I got off eBay and made a handle from red MOP pattern kirinite. As you can see the blade is not centered when I close it. The edge doesn't come close to or hit the scale at all. Any suggestions on how to center it? This is the first razor handle I've made that I didn't use glue at all. The few other razor handles I've done I finished the pivot then used glue on the other end. This allowed me to make the blade centered easily. Then I could add a pin for appearance if I wanted. I don't see any need to do that unless I would use something decorative. Also How would I smooth the pin heads? I can feel where the pins are flattened. Were they too long when I peened them maybe? The flattened pin is almost as big as the washer. I'm pretty happy with them but I know they should be smoother. The scales are polished. I don't want to mess that up.

The handle is kirinite. It is very soft material and easily flexed. I think heating it in hot water, shaping it and letting it cool might work. Even if that would work is there a way to be more accurate with centering when assembling the razor? Any help is appreciated.
