    Well I can't say how old it is.

    But as for the notch in the blade, it has no purpose.

    The blade broke in that spot and right now it's a very unusable razor.

    Sorry that I had to be the one to break the bad news.

    +1, unfortunately that razor has had it. Given the size of the chip and the location along the edge you couldnt even cut it down to a shorter blade.

    You can salvage the scales if they are in good nick, and use them for a rescale, but that blade is unusable.

    Its a shame because otherwise its in pretty good condition.

    The notch has a very useful purpose. With a single swipe of the blade you can give yourself a narrow mohawk right down the center of your head.

    Steve, don't mind the guy poking fun. It is nothing personal IMO. Not kidding, I've bought some junk razors when I was starting out and I do keep them around for box openers. BTW, if that was bought with paypal you can probably get a refund. If not it will do as a box cutter or if the scales are in good shape maybe they might come in handy for a good blade in poor scales. Check out the SRP Wiki razor data base and you'll see what to look for in a blade profile when your considering a purchase.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
