Except I wouldn't want it.It's chopped and ground to a fare-thee-well.An inch short and 1/4" too narrow.

Re scale it and you have the makings for a nice PCR,
"...is original and has not been retouched..."
...since I ground down the point, sanded the rust off the tang, and used a solvent to clean the scales that melted down the relief!
Yuck.
I was not aware that #14 are the same size as #10?
that razors seems to be much shorter and narrower than what it should be.
"THE STRAIGHT RAZOR IS IN GOOD CONDITION, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICS."
I understand that not everyone is an expert, I'm not one, but common sense should say that something terrible has happened to that razor. :shrug:
Dear God!!! Honing or Restore Practice??? What a waste of a beautiful piece :(
Everyone put it on your watch list and give the seller a thrill. Untouched. Right.
Someone has bid on it! Maybe just wants the scales?
"I AM NO EXPERT IN THE TOPIC" indeed.
Whoever originally did this would have used a paint roller on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. What tragic butchery - ruin the buttery steel, yet preserve the cheapie scales. :gaah:
