Dude that sucks. Sorry to see it.
You can still reshape the blade and save it to use.
Ouch, sorry about that one. Was this a 'bay purchase?
No from a shop.... Without good light and a good price I didn't see it. No excuses I didn't see it and think it was there. Then I added to it.Quote:

Something like this ? It's tricky not to explode the blade some if using a grinder.Quote:

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 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.Quote:
