OK, this is really weird. I have a third Goldedge that I'm cleaning up for a member. It's in great condition--as good or better than either of mine.

But the scales show the same offset that my other two do. How is this happening, especially on a razor with three pins? Seems like it would cause damage to the scales for the pivot pin to get bent like this...

If you're having a hard time visualizing: Imagine holding the razor, closed, with the tang pointing up. The spine is on the side opposite your body, so you can see both scales at once. One of the scales looks like it's pushed forward from the other one at the pivot.

I just can't figure it out. I'm starting to wonder if they were designed this way, possibly to make the razor easier to hold while stropping? (I don't find this to be the case, actually. It's a little harder to grip the razor for fast stropping. But it's my only theory...)
