    Talking Step by step

    1. The edge needs to be evened up
    2. The heel will need to be brought into line again
    3. The edge needs to be honed to shave ready

    Some things that stand out,
    Note that there is no noticeable hone wear, and the Gold is in pretty good shape from what I can see, which leads me to believe that the razor was dropped and damaged early in it's life... Somebody attempted an edge restoration, and learned that it isn't so easy
    The edge is well into the belly of the blade which is going to make for a much stiffer edge when you are done.

    It can be saved and made shave ready, but if you have no experience it might be a good idea to send it to someone that has.
