bad lighting or bad blade?

[loueedacat]

this blade looks all wrong to me. I asked the seller if it's just bad lighting and he said that's what it is, but I've never seen a BB photo that looked like this. Any thoughts?

Whatever the lighting it looks like it is well used. Maybe too well used for my $$. Lotta hone wear and uneven too.

"The Popular" by Beau Brummel, great shaver but not rare enough to buy that one Cat, they come up quite often on the bay, wait for a stright edged one... that has some serious toe wear.... It popped up the other day in my saved searches too...

Glen, can I Subscribe to your razor finding service? ;-). Seriously, I bought a razor that had a slight frown. I decided that buying on Ebay was too hard for me. I have restricted myself to new and NOS blades. I have also bought from the classifieds but have found that I am not as fast as other users so I always miss the "good" ones. My experience with the classifieds has ok but not great...

Thanks Glen, expect to hear from me. From what I have seen, you and I like different types of razor. I do not think that I we will have a conflict. ;-)

It looks like the seller used a "sharpening" filter on the photo. It is a digital process that is usually over-used to compensate for poor focusing. I see it a lot in newspaper photos.
