Thread: Not All That Happy

Well I finally got around to making a set of scales for this one and I am not all that happy with it. I originally intended just plain ebony scales with metal wedge, but since the razor was far to heavy and put the balance alittle farther forward than I like. I thought if I added some inlays it would increase the weight. I didn't take into account the fact that the material removed for the inlays was only alittle less than that added so it didn't really do much. Suppose I could use some liners, but I am thinking that would throw the balance off in the other direction. For only being a 6/8 it is as heavy as the 7/8 W&B near wedge that I had and that is after I sanded alot of pitting from it. The balance isn't bad its just not where I like it to be at for where I place my fingers when shaving. Not really even noticeable, but I have OCD so it annoys me. Now to hone it up and test it out. I'm not really a fan of the big, heavy razors and since this one is only 6/8 thought it wouldn't be bad, but the fact it weighs more makes me not sure if I will like it.
