A question to the Custom Scale Experts and Amateurs
I have found that half the razors that I pin into my custom scales don't naturally center the blade and I have to bevel the inside of the scales at the pivot to correct the plane of rotation to center the blade.
I used to think it was the way I made the scales or sanded the tang but then I had a chance to make two identical sets for two identical blades. One would not sit centered.
I did not sand the tangs of these so my restoration technique was eliminated from the list of suspects.
When I reversed the combination of blades and scales I had the same identical centering problem for the same blade on different scales. So the scales were not the issue, it was really the angle of the grind of the tang.
Tightening the pins does not correct it. I have to bevel the inside of the scales to get the blade centered.
Anyone else encountering the same issue or is it just me and my blades?
If you do encounter this then how do you handle it?
