    There are many tutorials in the wiki on pinning by the pro's, a little research does one good!

    I've used the TI tortoise scales to finish a razor. The set comes with a pin and washer for your pivot and the only tools you'll need are a peen hammer and some flush cutters...both available at Harbor Freight for little dime.

    The only thing that needs to be done is that you have to drill a 1/16" hole on the pivot end. If you're cheap like me, go to any mechanic and ask super-nicely if they can drill a hole through them right where you marked. I've done half a dozen this way at different shops and have yet to be turned down. If you're really nice, bring the guy a can of soda for his trouble. IMHO, though, the TI tortoise scales look nothing like tortoise...more like two colors swirled together. Now the Dovo scales look more like tortoise, but I digress. I've also used the TI black plastic and find that they look better as do my Dovo ebony scales. The TI scales will only handle a blade up through 6/8, so if it's larger, you're stuck with making your own.

    I'm not going to suggest any particular members to do the job (because they are all pretty impressive), but if I were in your shoes, I'd do the livi the justice of having a new set of custom scales put on by one of our resident magicians

    It would be well worth your time and money (in both the long and short term)

    Thanks. I've been inquiring with some members, but it seems that they are all pretty busy. I just got the razor and would really like to use it as much as possible. I'm not patient enough to wait 5-6 months to get the razor back. :P
