They are trying their best! A great retirement job, buying old razors and shining them up!
I won't buy anything they have had their mitts on, myself. JMHO"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

Some, including people who bill themselves professional honers and restores, hone with electrical tape on the spine to keep the hone wear hidden after hiding it by refinishing the blade.

It may end up shaving well, or not, just like any other razor it's impossible to tell from a picture.
My personal stance is to stay away from razors that are intentionally hiding stuff - I like to have the actual flattening on the spine from the hone wear visible.
To the point that even high profile restorers here who use this tactic are not getting any business from me anymore.

1) Sniping software - automatically submits bid just prior to closing. Not magic. Originally Posted by VAPDGUY
