So i've finally decided to make my own custom set of scales for an early razor. I took an old style lead spacer and shaped it into a squarish form to fit with the general look of the scales. I used an old set of cap washers and I couldn't wait to pin the blade....and this is exactly what I did.

Pretty soon I noticed that the blade is off center, but I thought that it will be fixed as long as I will continue to adjust the pinning by hitting the opposite side pivot pin, like I did in other pinning projects....well I was wrong.

I tried and tried with no success, so I felt I have no choice and I un-pinned the blade. Luckily no damage have been done to the scales nor the washers.

First I thought it was the blade that maybe bent but after I checked with other blades I have I found that they're all off center in the same direction. My conclusion is that the scales may cause the problem, but since these are my first custom scales I really don't want to dispose them as I worked for hours on making them.

I'm adding some picture of the scales for you guys to observe and may notice something crucial that i've missed (I know that on side is slightly more curved that the other, this accrued only after I buffed them).
