    Nothing that half a roll of tape won't take care of, that's for sure. Just ugly to look at.

    I think maybe MrZ was on the right track of making a Faux Frameback out of it, might be easier to fit a Brass / Steel tube to the spine and hone it up

    I did it once some time back but that razor was made that way originally

    He was confused, thought it was a Gold Dollar.

    Yes, it can be honed, make a frame-back spine with a piece of hard plastic or brass tubing, You will have to take some spine and blade measurements to get the spine width right, so you get the proper blade angle.

    Fortunately, there are tons of Wade Butchers in the wild, they were the Ford model A razor of the day.

    Im not gonna bash, but I am gonna say I have had a policy of avoiding any razors from that source for a long while now. Choose your razors wisely.
