Thread: crack

Hello everyone,
Once again, looking for expert advice.
I received a puma razor I just bought from a member.
It has a crack that goes all the way through.
Is this something that can be repaired?
If so, can you recommend anyone?
Any idea on cost?

If it is repairable, I would like to keep it. This would be my first puma.

Thank you,
John

nope, it's trash. Did you know it was cracked when you bought it?

I have a 7/8 Wade & Butcher with a crack in the same place. I placed flux on top with a tiny piece of silver solder. I use a soldering iron with a needle point on under side of the blade to draw the solder thru. Then work each side running the iron back and forth over the crack on both sides to distribute solder evenly.
The Wade & Butcher I fixed this way I have shaved with for two years with only one refresh.

Hey for a second I thought you were pushing dope around here.

That razor is toast.

Damn. Bad situation. Send it back.

why would I buy it if it was cracked. Even when you hold it, it is not 100% apparent. Only under magnification do you see it clearly
Can you see it from the picture?

If that's the crack, yes it's obvious from the pic.

Yes, from the photo the crack is obvious to me also.

Like an open wound

I am a bit surprised a member sold it knowingly.

If he/she did not know that is another thing.
