Behind a tump of chortle,
In front of a tall crepe myrtle,
Lies the secret weapon of shaving,
The snurdle lads, the SNURDLE!
A few weeks ago I blued a W&B full hollow and it cracked. If you recall.
I have 4 of these full hollows in bad condition.
Today I moved onto number 2. Sanded it, 80 grit Dremel, warm vinegar, Blued it, oiled it.
Sitting here about 2 hours since the bluing watching UFC (Illegally downloaded shh) and i keep hearing a ping noise, like metal touching metal.
Checked out my resting blade and its cracked , split. Whilst typing this it has pinged two more times .
Its as if the metal is giving up..
If you can zoom in on the last picture you'll see a huge crack.

I never heat anything when blueing. I'd say its your #1 culprit. (Expansion and contraction) with possible weak spots.
Man...! I feel for ya brother. [emoji17]
