here are some photos. I tried to get several angles and give some frame of reference of the size.

well, call me crazy, but---I see that the crack runs right up to the heavier stock and stops. Have you thought about cleaning it up a little, honing it and trying to shave with it? So, you stay away from the heel when you're shaving. I just think it's worth a try and might work out better than you think. There's certainly nothing to lose.

I'd have sent that right back.
One time, in band camp, I shaved with a Gold Dollar razor.

Actually, I just restored a Wade & Butcher Celebrated FBU not too long ago that ended up having a small hairline crack towards the heel side. I have shaved several times with it and had no problems whatsoever. I probably wouldn't attempt to shave with a full hollow grind but these old FBU's tend to have a much stiffer grind.
