Possible razor to practice honing?
So then, I recently got my first straight razor from SRD and its about that that time to send it in for its free honing. I also do have the intent to pick up some stones so I can learn how to hone my razors myself. However I do not want to go spend much on a razor that I may damage nor damage my only razor. So been looking for my second razor to use as practice/spare. Since I'm brand new and not to sure what I should be looking for but I think I found something.
So then, I'll stop my rambling now. What I really wish to know is if the razor pictured below is good enough for practicing honing and if I do well, possibly work as a second razor. The scales look a little beat but all the metal looks to be in the right places.
