Thread: Good for a newbie ?

I saw this on ebay and thought it might be a good cheap way for me to get started in restoration of straights.
It's a 9/16" Faragon advertised with no cracks or chips and slight pitting. Not shave ready.

My question is, does it look like the toe has been damaged at some point and the edge then re-profiled ?
Would this make a difference to it's shaving capability ?

Sorry if my terminology is a bit "off", still learning
