Well I just received a razor which was advertised as 'no chips', but it not only had a visible chip, but also one that was a beginning of a crack (clearly seen under a microscope). I've emailed the seller and we'll see what happens. I certainly don't think the seller noticed it
But in the original poster's thread I don't think 'being taken is' the right description. The price was low and the seller doesn't seem like they were trying to cheat anybody. The seller's opinion was that the razor is not suitable for shaving, the buyer's opinion was that in fact it is. If I am to decide on this case I'd decide in favor of the seller. And when all sellers start covering their behinds by stating that their razors are for decoration only, the prices will drop and the descriptions may improve, as then the buyers will have to ask explicitly if there are chips or cracks on the blade.
I am certainly going to include 'cracks' in my inquiries - these seem to be rare, but this is the second time in the last two weeks that I've gotten a razor with a crack.
