    Oh my! If I remember, I always try to take a small flashlight with me. Sometimes these places are so crowded and have poor lighting!

    I actually always carried a flashlight with me before, but am now surprised at how often I use it while shopping antique dealers. If nothing else keep one in your vehicle just in case.

    I had a Torrey with a similar issue, though the crack in mine was more in the center of the razor. It's about a 4/8 blade now, but shaves rather nicely. It too less time to remove the cracked metal than it did to set the bevel. All is not lost.

    Make it a Kamisori style razor. You can wrap the tang/ handle with some leather.

    The tang and scales are ok.

    I have put this aside until I get my grinder out from behind my camper. And then I need ambition at the same time....
