Bought this nice Tula razor for about 5 bucks and wondered why nobody else was bidding.

So I looked a bit more on the fotos of the seller (after I bought it ) and it was clear why:

A long crack was going from the end of the blade near the thumbnotch deeply into the blade.
But fortunately the blade was long and the crack did go straight in a nealry 90° angel into the blade. So easily to grind out.

A comparison before and after restauration:

Since my thumbs are getting much thicker with the age - a larger thumbnotch might be fortunate in the future

Razor has yet to be polished and honed. Quite sure it will give some great shaves.
