Thanked: 2Need help choosing scales for razor
I have a razor: A Wilson & Son, Sheffield.
I need scales for this razor.
The length from the center of the hole to the tip of the toe is about 118 mm and the size is 5/8".
I was looking at Superior Shave and I was thinking of a couple:
1. 138mm long & ~122mm of internal clearance to accommodate the distance between the center of your straight razor's hole and the tip of its toe
2. 140mm long & ~124mm of internal clearance to accommodate the distance between the center of your straight razor's hole and the tip of its toe.
I was also looking at Custom Straight Razor Scales , but they don't give any sizes.
I haven't replaced scales before so I have questions about determining the length of the scales: if the scales are too long it will leave too much space from the toe to the spaces inside the razor, which might not look good, or I will need to set the pin on the end where I attach the razor farther in from the end than the opposite end of the razor. Does this matter?
Like to hear about things I need to consider or other places to buy scales. Looking for economical, but decent.
Thanks
