    Default 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.
