The scales you say are broken, it looks like it's just a matter of gluing the pieces back together. Is it worse than it appears?

That's always a possibility I suppose, but I never let my razors near water.

I have several good shavers with similar cracks. I have found that if the blade does not scratch my strop, then it won't hurt my face. There is a risk, though I consider it to be slight.
