i could kick myself. i was shaving today and i put the razor down to go wake my brother up, and forgot about it. i came back a half-hour later and found a few water spots on the blade, very close to the edge. instead of waiting until i could get a white scotch brite pad to clean them, which would have been smart, i tried getting them off with a bit of toilet paper which, shall we say, lacks abrasive qualities. because of this, i was applying a fair amount of pressure and my thumb slipped and knocked down a small portion of the blade. i thought maybe i could strop it back into shape, but as soon as i started the first pass, i heard the very faintest sould of the knocked-down portion of the edge breaking off. if i look really closely and squint, i can barely see where the blade changes, but i can see it, and now it fails the thumbnail test (for drawing evenly) in that spot. Did i just ruin the razor for good? how big does something like that have to be to be considered unfixable?

if i can hone it down, no worries. i don't mind it if it's fixable, no matter how hard to fix. just tell me it's not a goner...
