    Default Importance of Sizing Scales to Blade

    I was fortunate enough to buy Glen's bahama kama last week. Great razor, and the scales are gorgeous and the acrylic feels just great in the hands.

    One feature of Glen's work really struck me - the new scales were perfectly sized and weighted to the blade. This takes extra time and care I am sure, but it makes a huge difference in the experience, because if the scales are perfectly weighted and sized to the blade, and the right amount of monkey tale protrudes out the back, it just feels right when you hold it, shave with it, strop it, hone it, etc. When the scales are more "one size fits all" they really don't feel right.

    So kudos to Glen for minding the details that really matter.
