great, i cracked my blade also

*sigh* i dropped my blade 5 feet down to the floor :cry: . It now has a hairline crack 0.25 inches away from the heel. (The length of the razor's edge is 2 & 1/2 inches from heel to point.) Should i throw it away or is it still useable?

Looking in the mirror and pretending to shave, i found out that i don't use the edge area with the crack to shave- it's too close to the heel. But then again i might not be able to hone/strop it properly because the edge isn't solidly connected to the heel stabilizer. any thought? :shrug:

If it's not in pieces, don't throw it... Try honing and shaving and see what happens...

I would not use it. To much of a chance to rip your face.

Just my two cents,

I don't think I would use it either. I just got an Eboy special a DD Special #1 in super shape the only problem is someone apparently tried to hone off or down the square point to make more of a round point and not only didn't succeed but slightly bent the tip. I don't think I would care to shave with it. Its just a collectable now.
