IDK what the restoration situation is where you are, but imo any large sheffield needs an experienced hand as all of that flat shiny material is really unforgiving to inconsistencies and flaws. I think had that blade been measured formally in the description and stated that it took a stable edge/the geometry was good, it would have gotten more. It was more a case of presentation of the data than anything else. PPl have to be conservative on costly facts that are blurred. Like if the razor had good geometry but everything else were as shown, I'd be factoring in the cost of a trip to someone like mark or glen for full on work and horn and that doesn't come cheap. If the geometry were off, I'd probably try to contact someone like Brian Brown or beg Bill Ellis to have a look/sort it out and that would be more expensive still. The what ifs hurt you more than anything in the final yield.
