    If it was honed by the maker, was a long time ago. Where is the blade damaged? Probably contributing to the razor burn you are experiencing.

    Looking at the toe I can see the chip that you're talking about. That sharp corner could be the cause of all the cuts. You'll want to soften that corner to get a comfortable shave. Like I said earlier, send me a PM if you want some help with it.

    Go to the beginners section and take heed of the advise, you need to back up and take one step at a time, just the one cheek till you get the basics down, and like was said honed by the maker? You so sure of that? And at least with Ulriks blade it will be shave ready the others I have my doubts, but the beginners section will address all of these points, read then come back.
    Try to break up your composition into paragraphs so we don't get lost, Good luck. Tc

    Nothing wrong with the razor. Some have muted toes.
    It may well need honing tho, as may your shaving skills.

    My Iwasaki has the toe muted in almost exactly the same way.
