Thread: How would you fix this sort of crack?

Get your money back !!!!!


The razor will never shave the way it was designed, even if you were to take the much metal off you would now be shaving in the belly of the blade not in the edge....

I'm really not going to go through any trouble just to get my 5 bucks back

Anyhow, the split is ... GONE. Yeah baby, after two hours it is no more. The razor still looking alright for my taste. The graphic is obviously almost entirely gone, which is fine by me and exactly what I was expecting. I'm trying to get it to cut hair now, I'll keep you up to date and hopefuly post a shave report on this one later tomorrow!

That.. I didn't think of.. hmm.

It seems there's still some room left before the big wedge starts so I think it will be ok. It did have an unusually large 'thin part' which is probably why this brand likes to brake blades a lot... I'd say half of the thin part is gone, I kinda compare it to when I honed/ground out a frown from a razor, and that one is my best shaver.

But damn, that I didn't think of that before starting.. oh well, lesson learned, time well spent.

I'd like to see pics

+1 I would get my money back since the description was off. I don't like the look of that crack.

Here are pics of where I am so far, I'm trying to get it to shave now, but will be for tomorrow! I'm confident I'll get it to shave, the question is HOW it will shave and keep the edge I guess :-) Quite difficult to take pictures here now, it's night and we don't have the best lighting here for taking pictures it seems...







What do you think, is it ruined and will no longer shave? I've seen worse 'used' razors with far less metal left to shave with, and some dude used to shave with that in the past as well I suppose

Hope this helps DOC!!!!!

I don't see a reason for this razor to not be able to take an edge.

The pics are so huge that there is no perspective...

I have seen razors worn to the nub, that tells me these things shave until the edge is in the spine...

BUT like I said above the feel of the razor is changed, you have reduced the flex considerably, so now, say this was a 5/8 to start, and you took it to 4/8 you effectively changed it from a full hollow, to a 3/4 hollow, this is what I meant... as more edge is removed you will close in on 1/2 hollow 1/4 etc essentially this is what you are doing it doesn't mean it cant shave, but it will feel different...In your case this is really true, since it now can shave, and before it couldn't so I guess it WILL feel different

Glen I think he just cut off the tip up to the crack, the razor is just shorter. That probably will still change the feel but nit as much as making the razor narrower imo.

Yep yer right Stefan I am lost on this one...
