    Default Crack in a wedge grind razor ?

    We all know that if a hollow ground razor is cracked, it is unusable unless the razor is ground past the crack, but what about if a razor with a wedge grind is cracked? is it the same outcome for the razor?

    A crack is a crack. Doesn't matter the grind. One still needs to grind past it to safely remove the crack.

    As Max says, a crack is a crack.

    Are you sure it is a crack and not a 'cold-shut' seam, though? In other words, is it visible on both sides of the blade?

    Regards,

    Even if it is a wedge "stuff", bacteria could, and probably would be in the crack. If you were to get a nick or a weeper and the creepy crawlies got in it ........

    Yeah that's what I thought, I just hadn't seen a wedge that was cracked yet, so was wondering if the same rules applied. Thanks for the input everyone

    One time, in band camp, I shaved with a Gold Dollar razor.
