is this worth buying? need answer asap

Love this razor plus it goes nice with my enders safety razors.... love the oak leaf etching and the handle looks bone or ivory all looks to be in good shape minus I believe wear at the spine? Not sure if this thing can be restored or not? If not I don't wanna purchase but if it is I want to get it tonight asap since im in love with this one for some reason lol let me know what u guys think asap it also has some rust on top of spine but not heavy doesn't appear to have pitting.... -john

It doesn't look like its in bad shape at all. I'd buy it. The spine wear looks better than others I've seen. Should make a great shaver.

Its just got the one chip from what I can see and there not warped is it worth a 20 dollar gamble? The scales appear bone or ivory they have a distinctive grain....

Fixing spine wear... my understanding is that the spine wearing down along with the blade keeps the angle of the edge.
The wear on this doesnt look too bad.

it is also possible to add like 3 three layers of tape depending on the wear to keep a nice bevel

We will be waiting on you to find out. You get to be the company rep for them :<0)

As for the hone wear.....it can be fixed but that is a real pain in the you know what and not really worth it in my opinion.

I think events happened in the wrong order, I might have tried to find out first, but I am sure it'll be fine, not that I am basing that on anything other than good wishes, as I know.nothing of the brand. Ed
