I've become quite used to butchering DE blades for Wardonias etc., and halving them for SE's like the Rocnel and Focus. I don't expect them to do the job for themselves.
This morning, my customary three days worth with a Gillette Silver Blue blade in my Blackland Blackbird (original model) was up, so I opened the razor to chuck the blade.
I was a little surprised to find that the blade was split clean in half, and was only hanging on in the razor by the suds I wash out when it's unloaded. There are no signs of rust or other such, and the blade and razor performed faultlessly for all three days.
The Silver Blues are quite thin blades, but I cannot recall this ever happening to me before in half a century of shaving. Has anyone else had this, and, if so, with which blade(s)?
