Sad face here. As I looked over my new Ralf Aust after my second use and stropping, I noticed a very definite chip. Pic attached. Right in the area that would presumably get use in facial hollows although I haven't used it for shaving yet.

I wasn't going to do any honing with this razor for a long while as I was learning how to shave with it. But this is a pretty real nick. So ... what do you think? Ignore it while using the flat to shave or will it inevitably lead to skin catchage and blood flowage and demands immediate honing. I've got the hones and perhaps could work it so as to not involve the straight edge during repair.
