It may well be de lamination, it does occur in steel, its like when the layers of plywood come apart.

I wouldn't touch it, personally.
I'd waste my 20 bucks on something else.

There is one more strange thing about this razor. It looks shorter than usual.

Looks like someone messed with that blade after the fact and now the chickens are coming home to roost on it.

I think the first 'E' in Sheffield was filled in with the chrome plating.

Study the pic close. Its not plated. The steel "flaked" apart. I have seen it before on cutting tools. flaw in the steel, tiny bit of moisture, and the rust causes an internal expansion that pops off the layer above. Same thing happens with the reinforcing steel in concrete. Razor might be salvageable, but both work and risk for an unknown.

You know what is weird? I bought a rusty ol jos. Allen (could barely make out the name through the rust...I like bringing blades back from the dead) for ten bucks yesterday at an antique shop. Came home and rubbed with steel wool... Everything cleaned up relatively well, and wouldnt you know, it says SHFFFIELD ENGLAND. Yes, three f's. Given this blades obvious age, and is a twin to a wade and butcher I've got except for a couple minor features, I think I've got a legit misspeller. So at least it *can* happen.
