Small bevel on W&B 8/8 need help.

[sidmind]

Got this in the mailbox today, after a little cleanup with micro mesh and Metal cleaner, I am ready to hone,

The bevel is small but has several chips that can only be seen at 30x that eat into it about half way. The blade is .955 thousands so just short of 8/8

I would like some advise.

3 layers of tape? Bit the bullet and go for it? Send To honemeister only?

I have experience in restoring razors and getting them shave ready, but this is making me nervouse because of the value starts dropping as it starts getting thinner..

Also can I even call a .955 width razor 8/8? Or do,we call it 31/32?
or do I have to say 7/8?
