    I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong.
    I did not like the look of those blanks, but I really like the look of those scales. Very nicely done and kudos to you for having the vision to see it through!

    These small wedges are what I prefer, and Heljestrands are my favourites. Being a bit oldfashioned and conservative, I think they look great in any scales - as long as they are black or ivory.

    So, my first thoughts upon seeing this razor were something along the lines of 'o my goodness, how could they be so utterly misguided, this is wrong wrong wrong!'. But having looked at the pictures a few more times, I'm starting to get used to them and - blasphemy! - even liking them.

    Today the thought occurred to me that these Heljes with their agility and the wickedly sharp edge they take, at the same time retaining a friendly nature without really getting aggressive, are not unlike the character of the Marsupilami. In that perspect, these scales are a perfect match.
