But now I gotta return 11 blanks back across the ocean...

Oh man, that's rough. Four blanks from robsbits arrived here yesterday and they're all fine. I guess that's a drawback of ordering natural products sight unseen online - there's always a chance something will go sideways.

I'm curious though - did he agree to a return of those 11 no questions asked?

Yes but it's gonna cost me 15 bucks to send it back... A real drag but a nice guy!

Ive had good luck with mygann on eBay, they also have a website. But they havent had honey horn lately and wanted me to place a bulk order of 50 or more slabs to get any :-(

That's good to know. Sorry to hear about the $15 though.

Mygann is in stock now!!! Order before it's all gone... I bought 11 blanks from them to make up for the ones from robsbits... NEVER had any problems with their blanks

Well you could always try my trick. I took a syringe and injected super glue in the delamination.

I would rather not...especially since it was a razor for someone else not me... If it were mine... I would consider it

You cannot expect natural materials to be stable at all times.I used to deal in Ivory of all kinds,did for 3 decades.
The stuff I Cut in my local at say 30% humidity,will not be the same when shipped to florida,same is true of Horn, bone etc.

Well there expectation then there is this... He says it's pressed horn and some of them have holes in the middle then looked like it might be filled with resin

This is what the 11 look like... That's not normal
