Thread: Do I throw it away?

I dropped my razor. Chipped and cracked the blade. I honed it and stropped it, but my concern is my own safety. Do I use it, or buy a new blade?

I'm afraid it's toast. Sorry for your loss but not worth the scar.

Thanks, guess it gives me an excuse to hit e-bay again, and make nicer scales!

WAIT!! DO NOT TOSS THAT RAZOR!!

Instead, give it to a local antique store and watch them put a price tag of $25 bucks on it before you walk out the door.

Wow Chris, that's a heck of a collection - mine is this broken Koken and grandpa's K&B extra

You'll get there if you want to. Just spend endless hours searching and searching and......

+1 not worth the scar.

If you are poor and can borrow a Dremel consider
grinding the problem bit back to the heal so it
is duller than a butter knife.


Maximilian is likely correct. Just the heat of hot water
could pop the crack and give you a slice even if you
shaved the last ten days with it without problems.


My solution.... hot glue it into a shadow box with
a poem about butter and fingers... all the kings
men couldn't put 'em back together again.

Thanks all, it's officially retired, I'll toss the blade and I'll keep the scales I made and use them on another.

Its got more left than mine, and mine is a great shaver. Unless you would rather a nice show piece noone else would notice the crack.
