Adjusting scales after honing.

[Richard]

I've noticed that after pinning new scales on my razors that after the honing process they need to have the pins tapped a bit to tighten things up. Is this normal?

No.

It means you put to much pressure on the scales with the palm of your hands and pivot while honing. It's not a big deal as you could easily tap it tighter. I also noticed a softer scale material to be more prone to loosen up faster or a lousy peen job to start with.

Thanks Max-s!
