Hi Guys,
I've just broken another set of scales (luckily quite boring black ones) whilst knocking out a pin from a vintage razor and I'm wondering if I'm doing it wrong?
I tend to file down the pin until flush with the scales then tap out with a small pin punch. Two sets of scales have been ruined so far though, luckily the scales were not good anyway, but for some, I just want to remove the blade, polish and refit in the original scales again with a new pin.
I remove the pin nearest the blade (not the one at the back holding the wedge).
Any advice greatly appreciated.
