I cleaned up the blade, cut out the scales, put in the adjustable pins to check everything out and it does not close properly. It didn't close right when I got it, but I figured it was the scales that were warped. After inspecting things, Ive identified the problem. You can see from the pictures below that when you lay the razor on a flat surface, the tang is flush on one side, but far from it on the other. Stacking a few washers on the uneven side helps a good deal, but looks like poop. Is there any way to salvage this guy?
