    I hear you. It burns me when sellers talk great about razors that are rated, chipped or over honed. Then they have the nerve to ask high prices. Guess they are waiting for the perfect sucker to come along.

    Default TRUE...BUT

    Although it's mentioned up front, the seller reassures us that this crack "...can be shaved down to remove [it]"! I suppose that's accurate...if you don't mind losing nearly half the blade, and a lot of that silly etch!

    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
    It's the same when you are stupid.
