I just bought a near mint Filarmonica 12 Romo 5/8" razor on ebay.

After receiving it today, and careful examination, I found a tiny notch and crack at the end of the straight part of the edge just as it rounds over at the toe end. The crack is barely visible to the eye, and is about 1 mm long or less.

My question is: Should this be removed by bevelling, or can I leave it alone? If I don't remove it, will it grow with time or break off?

I.e., is this a "stitch in time" issue? Otherwise the razor is in perfect shape. Not bad for $25 including shipping!
