Have you ever had one of those razors that one side looks great . every thing you could ask for in a razor. Name: Razor 100.JPG Views: 97 Size: 58.8 KB Well this is one of those. When I got this one I was thinking i could fix it. The crack in the back side was very obvious in the photos but still the price was right. Name: Razor 200.JPG Views: 100 Size: 62.3 KBbut as you see the crack didn't want to close. What I did is probably ruin the razor for everyone but me. I have a two part epoxy that a gunsmith gave me . While the wedge end was apart I mixed and coated both sides of the lead wedge and re-pinned the razor after I filled the crack with the epoxy. That's been while now. I've honed and used this razor many times and I really believe that the crack will stay like it is unless the blade is really forced down. The one thing is It shaves very good. Some day I will re-scale the blade maybe in camel bone but until then It'll be one that stays out of the safe and in the line up. Everyone shows there recent well done repairs just thought I'd show the mess up.

The other thing is I've seen several of these type razors with the cracked or broken scales. Most are all on the back side at the wedge end. Why the back side. I know why the wedge end it's just that it seems it's always the back side.
