    It may require a lot of sanding due to the pitting, but once you're done... It has the potential of being a great shaver.

    That guy sells Japanese razors and the one consistant thing about his wares are that they are all in terrible shape. When they don't show the blade in the fotos there is a reason why. Be prepared to do some major restoration on that baby.
