Hi
I have just picked up a nice Dovo from a local junk shop, I have bought it for my Nephew who has just started DE shaving but wants to progress into Str8s. The blade is fine and has cleaned and honed up well, but the scales have a lot to be desired. I have ordered a new set of Dovo's Tortoise shell scales from Classic Shaving and was wandering how difficult it is to attach them? It says on the advert that all I have to do is drill a hole in the scales and insert the silver pin supplied. Am I correct in assuming you then simply cut the pin to length and using a hollow nail punch round off the end of the pin until the blade is tight? As this is my first attempt at this sort of thing should I really be doing it, or should I send it off to someone who does?
If the latter, does anyone know someone in the UK that can do the job?
Cheers
