I spend a lot of time on eBay, usually just watching auctions so I can get a sense of market value. But all that time means that I see a lot of junk and mistreated razors. I haven't started honing, yet, so I often wonder about the frowns, toe-heavy wear, and weird bevels that I see.
For example: can this old Wade & Butcher Celebrated Fine India Steel be made to shave well? It's certainly not the worst bevel that I've seen...not even close...but it happens to be the one I just saw.
