M. J. Higgins sheffield razor

Just won this auction ...any thoughts? It appears to be alright, but i haven't heard of the manufacturer.

It looks like it'll clean up if you really put some effort into it...roll up your sleeves :tu. It has seen what looks to me like quite a bit of hone wear...but 10 bucks not a bad score.

i saw this one earlier but the hone wear scared me off, plus i've got a higgins already.
clean it up, hone it and see how you like it.

Well worth the $10 in my opinion....:tu

How do you treat hone wear?

Hi Stvn. Hone wear refers to the wear in the picture, and means it has been sharpened on a stone.

You cannot really treat it, the more hone wear the razor has the flatter that part of the blade becomes, and the more "used" it is considered. I feel retarded tonight, studying for an art history test, if anyone else can explain this better please help me out. The coffee is making jittery...

I think you made a great buy! clean her up and hone it and shave with that sucker. :tu

Most people just deal with it!
You could have someone like Traveller or Joe Chandler regrind it for you though!

Thanks a lot everyone, you guys have made me feel so much better about that little impulse buy and have given me a renued confidence. Now i just need to get some supplies to fix it up!
