Hello,
My razor was recently dropped, and the blade is damaged... There was an extremely small chip that I easily removed, but I don't know what to do about this....

It is damaged in a strange way since it's a full hollow razor. I don't know how to describe it, but I how the pictures will help.
Would you know if there is any way to repair it? Maybe weld it?
Thank you
That looks like a crack...
If it is, the only fix is to cut and shorten the blade, it may or may not work as very hollow blades sometimes do not have the stability to hold that
Shadow Box.
Too bad that is a nice looking razor.
This blade had a crack at about the same place. Win some, lose some.

Welcome to SRP. I don't think there is any viable repair for that. It is too far from the heel to cope out the portion and leave the width on the forward portion, and it is too deep to hone past it. You'd have a 3/8 by the time you were done, and strange geometry if you went through all of that.
Oh man! Beautiful blade, Im sorry for the loss.
Here is a blade that had a similar crack that I got in a Lot. Its on another thread but just saw this and figured post it here to show a possible fix. But like Glen said, hollow blades dont often have the stability to hold it.. This blade is a quarter hollow so has the strength.
Only other option would be to make it a "super shorty"... but I wouldnt cut down those scales, too nice, Id make new really short scales for that super shorty and save those scales for a good blade.
Just my opinion, as I dont like to throw away blades. It could be a conversation piece? lol
Maybe even try it out? hehehe :D
Now you guys know that I really AM crazy about shorties! lol
Still have work on this blade to do.
Sorry but it's a goner:( I have cracked a couple of blades, it's heartbreaking but happens. I would go ahead and unpin the blade and trash it but keep the handle. You never know when you will have a lonely blade that just needs a new home!
Sorry for your loss, Razordinkaphobia is real.
On the bright side, you get to learn how to un-pin a razor...
I have been formulating an idea on a possible fix for a crack like that but at this point it is ONLY and idea. I have far to many razors in that condition and I just recently took possession of a set with two cracked razors so the idea has resurfaced and I need to do some experimenting to see if it is even feasible, if it is then I will be a Millionaire:deal: But as to your razor, NO. As JimmyHAD has pointed out, that crack is in about the worst spot possible. To far forward to scarf the heal and to deep to hone out.
Too bad... This was my first razor... :/
Thank you for your replies
