    That would seem to be consistent with some of the descriptions I've seen of ebay.

    Bad luck!
    Restoration just goes a bit destructive every now & then.

    Bet you next time you'll say to yourself, "Do I really need to make this 'mirror finish' ?".

    What a shame - lovely work on the back, too.

    It looks a bit like Moby Dick now...

    Sorry for the loss! I really feel for you. It's never a happy story when this happens. You always end up blaming yourself for not being careful enough and being such a dummy but unfortunatly it's not always our fault...
    And it's a good thing it didn't snap and caught you in the fingers or eyes.

    I have an idea of sorts for you. Perhaps you can remove that split plus any extra blade and make it into a 3/8 trimming razors?
    Yeah, that thought crossed my mind......But then I got a grip on reality....I don't want/need any 3/8 razors, no matter how sweet the spine work would be!

    My heart goes out to you.
    I've had that happen to a blade before while on the buffer. I'm still able to type so that should give you an idea of how lucky I was LOL
