    You can almost never go wrong with W&B. Looks like a beauty, and in that condition, I'd say you got a good price, too.

    Ok, here's a link to my flickr account with a folder full of a few closeup pics of the razor.

    There's no marks at all on the spine and no nicks or any sort of damage along the edge. Looks like a few scratches (maybe someone tried to hone it or something?). There's a few black tarnished spots on the tang and blade which I assume can be polished out?

    The scratch marks don't look like they are from honing. Honing only affects the edge and the part of the face at spine. These got there another way.

    The tarnish can be polished off. You may find that the tarnish can be hiding shallow pitting and once polished off the pitting shows up more prominently. Hard to tell until you polish off the tarnish.

    The razor is in excellent condition. I think you will enjoy your shaves with it.
