    Razors use very hard steel, which is consequently quite brittle. Now you know how all those mangled ebay razors got that way...

    Edit: Oh, and my condolences on your loss.

    Bummer -but kind of elegant how it broke -not ragged looking --almost like it was cut out. Anyway, just a positive spin,

    Can't you tape it or glue it?

    Alternately, can you hone the chip out - I figure about 100 hours or so on the Norton and you'll have a nice 3/8

    I'm just trying to find some humour in a crappy situation - sorry for your loss .

    As for why the razor broke, its possible that the blade came into contact with the scales or the shock of the impact was enough to shatter the metal.

    I´m sorry for your loss man. That really hurts I know.


    There´s an "antique mall" in this area that has a couple vendors who sell straights as they find them. One of these vendors has a nice razor that looks to be about a 9/8 or better that has a similar break in the razors. Guess what he´s trying to sell it for?
    .
    .
    .
    .
    $15.00.

    While that doesn´t sound like much I was shocked that he´d try.
