    Default Chop Job?

    I don't know exactly what to call this, but it looks like they've chopped the toe off of this one....

    +1 she's been chopped alright, but they did a good job of it.

    Agreed they did do a good job. What makes it obvious is the length of the scales which are to long for that blade unless the scales have been changed and the blade is original. It is a short one though.

    Oh yea they will still give a good shave and can be handy for shaving around a mustache etc. As long as the contour is made correctly it should be fine.
