What to look for: Hone Wear
Been into wet shaving with a DE for about 6 months and have been loving it. I recently picked up a Ralf Aust from SRP and after about 3 weeks I'm finally getting shaves I can walk out the door with. BBS in some areas but still some rough areas and irritation. Mostly chin and corners of my mouth. Even with a learning curve I'm hooked (no one warned me).
Which leads into my question. What are some tell tale signs to look for in a razor exhibiting hone wear? Been lurking on eBay and just really don't know what to look at to spot excessive hone wear.
I am attaching an example of one I considered purchasing but thought may be showing hone wear at the toe.

What do you think? Acceptable? Or likely to be difficult to make shave ready?
Any help is appreciated.
