looks like they took out a chip in the heal should shave ok though
Funny, I thought that was a shadow! It should be fine either way though!
Yeah, I just looked at it again and I am pretty certain that its just a shadow and the blade is complete!
Well, it's a detailed photo of strange heel.

IMHO,The easiest way is to see original in any catalog, if there is:confused:, who knows?:shrug:
I just inspected two of my Genco's. My 11/16th has a similar heel, but my 5/8's heel is different:
Send her out to a hone meister and then start many happy years of shaving with that straight.
The profiled heel just takes away from the original look, but not by very much. I think it was a good way to save that razor from the trash. Is long as there aren't any hidden cracks.
If you decide you don't like it, I will happily take it off your hands and I won't even charge you. ;)
I'm from Sant-Petersburg, Russia and there is no hone meister, except for I am.:bow
It's my first funny purchase.:gth
