Thank you. Sometimes things get read into stuff so my apologies.Neither. Just for the sake of clarity.

I am thinking of doing that.My opinion: don't bother with having it repaired. Store it somewhere as a family heirloom piece and buy a new razor. That razor is 70 years old or so. It doesn't owe you anything. It served you and your father very well. Over the span of 7 decades this sort of accident was bound to happen. Accept it and move on.
I dont think that’s BRG’s line of work. The razor parts all remain original, nothing is replaced. It’s just a tune up to fix bent parts, stuck mechanisms etc…The problem with repairing these sorts of items is that they always lose their 'magic'. That is to say, it ain't the same razor anymore. It's a 21st century repair with possibly 21st century parts to make it work again. Same with those vintage car repair shows you sometimes see on TV. I never really understood it. I say: accept and move on.
Clearly your wife owes you not just a new razor, but one in like new condition - no matter what the price. (good luck)I am glad to have found this site thanks. I really appreciate it. I might use this tragedy to buy a new razor. and just put up my Gillette on the shelf.

I will let you all know what I decide.
