    Unhappy Broken blade Help

    Wow,
    Been a long time visiting you fine people. I had not shaved with my Boker Edelweiss in a long time - pulled it out and found the blade tip broken off at a 45 angle - no clue how but suspect someone pulled it out to look at it and dropped it. I am beside myself (gssixgun, you actually held this when I sent it to you a few years ago to inspect).


    So, can anyone help me pointing me to resources how to repair this, or maybe who to send it too? I realize I will be looking at a shorter blade but this is a nice piece an want to use it.
    A little heartbroken .

    Many Thanks,
    Alpsman


    All,

    Upon further examination, the missing toe was not the only thing - the blade had a long crack towards the heel almost to the edge. So, I broke it off and attempted my first surgery. Unfortunately, it is not perfectly straight. However, I found a Boker Red Injun on ebay and snagged it in a fit a bummed out passion. I will but an edge on this and see how she rolls, it is the best blade I have for the upper lip mustache area. Think I my want to round this out a bit more. Thoughts?

    Thank you all for your replies - especially Outback who helped me through PM.

    Best,
    Tom
