Well the OP did say vendors selling . Mine took a little imagination as you have to picture the blade going through the salami and hitting ths cutting board. When I see a blade resting edge down on a hone or other such hard object I think "so much for shave ready". I am no photographer but when I take a pic I try to show as much as I can and hide nothing. If the vendor is not showing a clear view of the razor maybe it is good to ask question and about return policy. Does it really bug me ? nope.
