    Hi Dennis, I don't know about a razor blade...I use a jeweler's saw
    to cut my rings.  Frames and blades are readily available and
    relatively inexpensive, plus a little beeswax to keep the blade
    lubricated and your'e good to go. I've been cutting rings this way
    for two years now, and aside from the occasional blade breakage (I
    always try to keep a fair amount on hand so I don't run out), this
    method works well for me.  It's not as fast as using a Jump Ringer,
    but considerably less expensive and that suits my budget for now.
