I made a razor to fit Hart scales because of a request. It came out pretty good but the scales contact the blade at the middle close to the spine as well as at the toe. The middle contact point marks up the blade which has a pretty high polish. I don't think much of the one piece construction because of this. It would be the same with a non tapered spacer in place of the wedge.
