Geez, how you going to/did you explain that one?

Ah, perhaps you're right. In that case...
The bottom one was stainless and had a crack that was invisible until it touched the buffer. It didn't really catch or jump, just kind of fell apart.
The middle one exploded in my hand when one of the strands of the sisal wheel I was using decided to come loose. I was using a 8" wheel at the time, so you can see what happened when the strand hit the paper thin blade.
I would be worried that rumors of lack of quality and workmanship would spread :-\....which i am not questioning i think you do an amazing job
In general, when I'm "hunting" at flea markets or antique stores whenever I see a razor box and ask the clerk if I can check out the razor inside. I pull it out, open it and has a nick too large to be honed away.
The most disturbing moment was this past Sunday morning in the same place where I snapped my Heljestrand that I restored and sold today I saw a beautiful Filly 13! The scales were amazing, and there was very light rust - "This will be my lucky day!" - I thought. With my eyes opened wide I carefully pick it up, open it and see a nick about a quarter of an inch in the middle of the edge. I said to myself, impersonating Homer Simpson - "Doh!". What a grab that would if it hasn't for that nasty nick!
