Thread: My first set of scales

Ok....here you go.

G10 is an incredibly rigid material, as I'm sure you now know. It can withstand being thinned down considerably before you shape your final scale. The thinnest I've done them to this point is 0.81 per scale. It was for a set of jade ghost, so that you could clearly see through them. What I'm basically saying, is that due to the density of the material, coupled with its rigidity, you'll want to thin them down to maintain the balance of the razor.

Another way to lose weight on a set of scales is to bevel all the edges, so that the outside of the scale is almost a full contour, with no flat spots.

I find both work well for me. Hope this helps a bit.

Regardless, your first set look awesome.
