Ok, thanks for all the input. I was thinking about doing that to the pins but didn't know if it would work or not since this is only my second rescale. The other was about 10 minutes before this and were a set of faux tortoise from Classic as well that turned out great. I do think they're TI from what I've seen due to the pointed end on the non tang end. I'll tinker around with them and see what I can accomplish but I still plan on shaving with it in the morning
