    If it was a special vintage blade, she's easier to replace!

    If it's just three small spots near the toe, your razor faired remarkably well. The first time i dropped a razor, it cracked and broke a huge piece out of the toe - that razor is toast. The scecond time, there was no apparent damage (and definitely none to the edge), but it was a razor I was in the middle of buffing anyway.

    Thankfully it was a relatively inexpensive dovo, and the damage doesn't look to great. Like I said, 3 tiny spots on the edge that reflect light just a little differently. I restropped and shaved with it, and it did an alright job.

    For future reference, that doesn't sound to me like a good idea. If there are chips or dings, there could be jagged edges, which could tear up your strop or worse, your face.

    +1 to that! I made that mistake and scraped the hell out of my strop in just 2 strokes!
