While the auction photo you posted, shows no visible sign, the lack of clear, close up photos always me suspicious, especially when paying the kind of money these razors command.

Probably in part, because so few survive.

I have a couple and they are shavers.
A little off topic, but is that a trait of cracked ice scales in general? This isn't the first time I have heard that. I have one razor with them that I really like, and the scales look great, but I could care less compared to the blade.

Am I correct that if I am using the razor regularly and paying attention to it, no problem, but maybe don't store it away long term without watching it; maybe store it quarantined? Maybe just rescale the darn thing and not have to worry about it?

Sorry for the hijack.
