The pic shows the pure,clean white of freshly-exposed bone for the entirety of the break while the before pic shows no issues at all.
Unless the box was damaged, no way it happened with it wrapped and in a box.

When I ship a razor I always ship USPS priority mail. That means a hard box. I also wrap in bubble wrap if there's no coffin if there a coffin i still fill the box so it doesn't rattle around. If the box was destroyed the buyer should have sent a photo of the box as well as the razor. All this leaves me to think what I do about the problem. I'll know in a few days which way to go.

Good luck on the surgery. Hope it all goes well
I’d do as the other have said. It was insured for $50 anyway

Good luck with your back surgery.
The razor issue is secondary and will eventually get sorted out.

we'll have to see if he send it back.

Then he wouldn't be getting his money back. Like was said you can fix it. But your covered by usps insurance on those boxes, I've had a claim before and they paid. But it would be better if you had the box or pics of the damage with the shipping label. Tc

Is that bovine bone?

Can't add much to the shipping discussion, but I'll be praying for a successful surgery without complications and a quick recovery.
Like you were saying earlier, it isn't the most important thing right now and worrying won't change the outcome. Take care Hensley!

Well it didn't take pay pal long to decide. When the buyer sends the razor back to me and provides them a tracking no. they will give the buyer the refund. Just about what I thought would happen. The scales are bone I think. I do know they were pretty. I've got a couple of re-placement scales that might fit not pretty but usable.
All that said I need to say this. I do love this forum. It gave me a place to vent which I needed. Thanks guys.

Could the break be repaired, or is there too much pressure on that spot? It is looks like such a clean break and the scales are really nice.

You can glue anything but it's till broken. Yes the scales were very nice. When I got the razor I removed both pins and cleaned and polished the blade any rust there was removed and the razor was re-assembled. Now that was at least 1 1/2 years ago or more. I honed the razor and shaved with it a few times. It opened and closed good and centered nicely. When and If I get it back I may re-scale it with bone. I have a set of ivory scales that if they fit I may put on the blade. Or I may just let the blade go as is. I'm kind of sick about this . But now I'm beating a dead mule. O and about the pressure at that spot. There wasn't any. It's my opinion that either the razor was closed to tight or it was dropped and landed wrong. From the appearance of the break that is what it looks like to me.
