My Comoy's of London SR turned up yesterday only to discover it has a snapped scale at the pin. It looks like it was fitted too tightly and when it was opened it snapped. What annoys the hell out of me was that it came in a tin container so there is no way it broke in transit. Whomever packed the razor couldn't have helped but notice it.
I was contemplating sending it back for a replacement or refund but to be honest, for the price I paid, I couldn't be bothered. For now, I've glued it (whether it holds or not is a different story) and I've ordered a set of Ram's Horn scales (at 3x the cost of the razor itself) to replace the original. I've never changed the scales before so it will be a good practice piece.
