For those of you who aren't very familiar with the parts of a straight razor, the following picture will help you identify them. It should be beneficial to sellers who keep calling scales, the case... or referring to the tang as the end of the cutter.

It will also help new straight razor enthusiasts know what sellers are talking about on their auction page... if it is a knowledgeable seller.

My motivation for providing this information it to help the Seller and the Buyer have a more positive buying experience...
