Thread: Questions about my razor.

Hello all,

Long time Lurker, first time poster.

First, some back story.

When i was sixteen, I was given this Otto Deutsch "HANS" razor as a gift (almost a cast off) and taught how to shave with a SR from a friend. I never did anything with this razor, and when i went into the service, I was not allowed to use a SR anymore. so I got in the habit of using cartridges.. Well, the other day I went to Wally world to get some more, and realized I was going to pay over thirty bucks for not even a months worth of cartridges. So I have had enough. I came home and dug this razor out of the bottom of my knife box. I polished it up with some metal polish paste and took a good look at it. Now for my question...

After polishing, I noticed that there's some pitting on the blade. The edge is still silky smooth, but with the pitting, would it be worth going any farther with this blade, or should I start looking for a new one?

Thanks in advance.
