Im pretty sure it's supposed to be that way. It's just got a 2 dimensional bevel.

I think I've seen this razor before. It'd be funny if it were the same razor getting bought and sold...

With the help of power tools this actually could be made into a servicable 2/8" Maybe even close to 3/8"... but honing would require either a VERY slow and steady hand or a 3"+ wide stone, as the tang would prevent a quick X pattern. Also, expect to spend at least an hour or two on a XX just wearing that spine down (unless you had a suitable belt sander alternative).
All told I'd expect 4-5 hrs to make it into a usable blade again, given my set of tools...
Of course I'd wear through 1-2$ in dremel sanding loops. And that's maybe $75-100 worth of work imho... all for a razor that you'd shave with for a laugh.
Yeah, unless you just wanted to prove you could do it. :P

Zen razor.
The sound of no blade shaving
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
