    You did not look at it before you bid on it I assume?

    Get some fresh scales made up to match, clean up the end and you're good to go.
    Looks like a nice travel blade!

    Most shavers seems to use either the toe half, or the heel half for most of their shaving. I myself came across a blade in need of cut down, and have used it almost every day since. It's really pretty great having a blade that takes off the same amount of hair as a regular length blade, without the unused portion of blade out there threatening to take my ear off. Although it's a tough sell on collectibility, I'd say it'll be much more user friendly. JMHO I love cut down blades, so long as it's necessary to do it.

    You should relist the razor on the B/S/T forum as some want a shortened blade just like that. Some will PAY for you to shorten the blade. It is shortened, and even better it is round tipped...

    I could use a short blade PM me if you decide to let it go. I'm quite used to the disposable size blades anyways

    Lemons into lemonade ?

    The scales look busted at the pin; so make a new set of black scales for it that fit the blade. If anyone comments that it looks like the blade was "ground off", just look at them like they are stupid and say, "Don't you recognize a Joseph Rodgers & Sons Junior when you see it ? "

    Put it on Ebay as a Joseph Rodgers & Sons Junior , start the bidding off at $500.00.
    It will sell.
