    Looks like it needs some rubbing and a hone job. Hopefully the rust doesn't go that deep. After that it should shave well. Did you buy it or are you thinking about it ?

    Lemur,, You think that's cell rot ?

    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    It's got a nasty angle from the heel to toe, but on the bright side the rust doesn't look like it goes to the bevel. I would avoid this one like the plague (there's far better Henckels out there), but it could probably be made serviceable with some skill.

    The heel to toe angle is what scared me off. I didn't buy it (asking price was $50). I wasn't sure if it would be serviceable/worth the trouble, so I aired on the side of caution.


    How about this one? Looks like it has a slight frown, but could be fixed. I have never heard of a "Myer's Special" though?

    I bought a razor to learn on and the shipping cost more than the razor @ 4 bucks usps. You could find one ready to go right here in the classified section for about what your going to spend with no guess work.

    Oh yeah, I probably won't buy another razor (got my first one from Larry recently) until I'm a little more familiar with what to look out for (unless I come across an obvious deal). I figured some of these razors had a little bit of damage on the blade and could be decent contenders for the thread. I'll keep that in mind though.

    Nah, the rust seem to be where water would collect if you don't wipe it good, but cell rot can probably look that way to.
    I'm no cell rot expert and hope I never will be, haha!

    This Fredrick Reynolds is being sold as shave ready. I guess I can't be 100% sure from the photos but when I zoom in, it looks like the edge is very pitted and Swiss cheesy

    This had to take ages to do this.

    Lemur and Geezer like this.
    One time, in band camp, I shaved with a Gold Dollar razor.
