From what I´m can see the cracks are not very deep. If so, I think the razor wouldn´t overlived the hardening. I did here a tripple hardening to be sure, the shank is stable. But if there will be a rust or other problem with the razor in the future, I will give the buyer a full refund. So he has no risk at all.
