Is this blade worth saving?
I just picked this razor up a couple of days ago. This blade appears to have been severely honed, the heel is about 1/8" gone, compared to the toe, and what's left of the edge is seriously wired. I'm guessing someone just abused it then got rid of it. Being extra hollow, the edge is so far gone at the heel that it's encroaching into the slightly convex portion that runs parallel to the edge of the blade. I'm not needing any honing practice, and if I can just straighten out the edge by breadknifing and then honing it properly, then maybe it will shave. But if it's junk, then I'd rather spend my time on one that's worth the effort. I'd think that to straighten the edge at this stage would mean removing a sizeable amount of steel all along the edge to make the toe and the heel measure the same width. What do you guys think? Be honest, I can take it! :) Thanks!
