Thread: Crack!!!!!!

Is this crack repairable, and if so is any body willing to do it for me? It's an 8/8 W&B.

No, it isn't repairable, the only thing to do is to shorten the blade. If you would like, I could do it. I always enjoy reshaping a razor and making it usable again. If the crack was in the body or the heal it would make it harder to do.

That sucks. Was it hidden Under the goo or did you drop it?

Really sucks,so sad,Shortening blades is to me an abomination.JMO

Yes, have to agree with you there, every time I would see the blade it would remind me of what it used to be, I'd rather not have the heartache...sorry to see that.

It would stil get used for what it was meant for? Just shorter.

Just cuz it has a crack u dont need to throw it away. have fun with it make a good shaver.

Here is a MK33 that had a big piece missing.


New scales and reprofiled, Work like a charm and is a fun shaver.

I can't fill the cracks with the point of a pin, so will hone it and see if it can be shaved with. I am opposed to shortening it as well. Thanks for everyone's advice.

With a heavy grind (wedge-y) blade, you can probably get away with, but I would NOT recommend it. Just a slight flex, and you have a very sharp corner dragged into your skin. IMO, not worth the risk.
