Default Wade and Butcher Step Grind Opinion Wanted

This is a rework I just finished for one of our members.he wanted these color scales,as they are his university colors.I would like your opinions regarding the extra large rear bull's eye washers for the pins.Are they too large/gaudy/over the top,or do you like them.It may be difficult to tell from the photos,but they are two toned,brass/rose gold colored.Your opinions will be appreciated.Best Regards gary

Awesome scales Gary! I don't think that the pin is too large or gaudy but the one getting it should have the say so. I think the whole package is great!

Personally I think the end pin is too big for this razor and scales. Looks great though.

Sorry, I'm not taking on any more "projects". That means no scales, restoration, honing, you name it. Look for my custom razors in the future though!
