Found my dad straight razor in the garage with some stuff from his time in the service.
Bad news is that the tip is broken as you can see in the pic below, the good news is that the rest of the blade does not have any fracture line so it could be used as a short blade.

From what I heard the part near the cutting edge is extremely fragile and can break quite easily, any advice on how to cut the blade and minimize risk of more damage to it. Tools to be used, technique...

all welcomed, and merry xmas to all
rgds, pat
