Knabbed this guy this morning
Pipe Razor
Horrible photography on the sellers part, but I can make out that the Pipe is still there. Hopefully it'll be a nice restore

I just honed one exactly like that. Sweet shaver; you'll be very happy with her.

This razor looks very good.
If you restore there is enough blade to take material off it needed.
EnjoyStefan

I just sold a blade exactly like that. It was easy to hone and as mentioned, a very nice shaver. Good grab! Originally Posted by holli4pirating

This is workable... horn scales will have to go
I've never hones a full wedge before... this will be interesting.

Really nice blade. I love a good wedge. Should be a great shaver.

Honing a wedge is exactly the same as honing anything else, except it takes longer. Be sure you have the bevel totally set and cutting arm hairs before you move up, and you'll do fine. Given the blade's taper to the heal, you may find a heal leading stroke will help you keep things even.
And remember, if you start getting frustrated, put he down and come back to it later.
