Thanked: 2209I strongly agree with Reardensteel, send that razor out for a professional honing. The reason why is that steel starts to oxidize right away and becomes "soft". That means that the razor will not hold its edge. The "old steel" along the edge needs to be honed off and back to good, strong steel that will hold an edge.
Whenever we hear that a new guy has a vintage razor from wherever this is the reason we tell them to send it out for a pro honing.
