Noooo That is not a razor that can be described as being in decent shape.

You always have to consider any honing or restoration fees when buying & anyone who would restore that razor for $30 or less would be doing you a big favor rather than being paid for their time. Even if it were resurrected at best you would end up with a trimmer as it would not likely shave as it was intended to.
Unfortunately "Toast" is a good description for that razor.

Alright, no vendor bashing on SRP, so let the thread closing serve as a future warning.
