Thread: Things that would cause a razor to cut into its own handle.

I'm having problems with a straight razor that won't stop leaning to one side and cutting into its horn scales. I know that the pivot is not to loose so is there anything else that would cause this.

Warped scales

1. Emotional pain from being put to the hone.
2. To gain a sense of control when other things like shaving cream choice is not their choice.
3. To punish themselves for a less than BBS shave.
4. Some find the act enjoyable.
5. To get a reaction from the other razors in the rotation.

Luckily for you there is intervention for such razors, a good restoration expert can fix that for you. We have several here to choose from;

We really should not encourage Hirlau . The uninitiated may not appreciated his warped sense of humor.

That's true,,, I have to watch myself,,, the new guys are not used to me yet.

I suppose someone really should try to answer the OP's query , so here ya go !

Thank you for the link. I apparently wasn't pining them correctly. But luckily it was a easy fix

other than warped scales and Hirlau's masochistic razor theories... a bent pin, a rescale that didn't account for asymmetrical tang shape, or a warped blade could also cause it.
