    Default I didn't break any scales today!

    It took me 30 minutes to tease the pivot pin out of this junker--

    I don't know who produced all those "Garantie Solingen" blades, but I've found every one to be a fine razor.

    I paid twenty bucks for that junker, just for the scales, that's mostly why I was so careful. I'm cheap.

    Hey, $20 isn't so bad for scales like those. They look great with your new blade. Congratulations! I spent $15 on a a junker for the scales which I thought were horn. Turns out I got a junker AND a $15 set of celluloid scales. Oh, well, some days you eat the bear and some days the bear eats you. You did good!!!
