Thread: How bad is it?

I sent my Friodur 72 out to Glen for G10 scales and LOVE IT. But I dropped it in the sink within 10 min, creating a burr or chip or something..it scratched my strop because I didn't even think about the possibility of such a thing. I could puke. How bad is it? Can this be repaired? I'm so irritated with myself. I hope you can tell from the pics..

Don't sweat it. It happens. It will hone out easily.
The first photo seems to show a crack but that might just be light since it doesn't appear in the following photos.

The first pic looks like a crack, the rest look like a chip. The chip will be easily fixed, if it's a crack it will need to be shortened and reshaped

Looks like a crack to me.

That's a major job. The razor has to be reworked and cut down past the crack.

I should have cleaned the blade better before taking pics.. Not cracked. (After reading the posts saying it was a crack, I almost hyperventilated, stared at the pic, ran to the bathroom, and wiped the blade down to check. All is well on that front.)

So, a simple honing and resharpening should take care of the issue?

Yes, it wouldn't take to much. A crack would be MUCH worse!

The first photo looks like a crack, but If there's no crack then that razor is a very easy fix it will hone out very easily.

Glad to see you back Dylan pm me it's no biggie if no crack, Tc

That doesn't look too bad at all. I found a worse ding than that in the razor I leave at work after my room had been cleaned, I got it out in a few minutes with a barber hone.
So don't worry about it, it is very salvagable.

The first pic looks like a crack & the second pic kinda shows it too but the rest look a lot better. If it isn't cracked, you'll be okay & it just needs to be honed again. It happens to the best of us. Sorry for your bad luck.........
