Thread: W/B Razor on ebay shave-able, or just a show piece?

Hello! I was wondering if one of the more experienced members could tell me if this razor is more of a collectors item as opposed to usable for actual shaving. Personally I do want a 7/8 wedge razor and Im aware that this razor does need some heavy restoration. Is this also an unreasonable price for this razor?

Thank you so much! My search for a cool wedge pursues! I really want a vintage razor....

Can somebody tell me what they are looking at for the hone wear? If i didnt ask you guys first, i would have guessed that the spine was fine, to me the corner of spine looks crisp on both sides, and the 'scratched' bit below it to me looks like it would have just happened anyways.. And looking at the branding the letters closest to the shoulder still look easily readable, and that to my inexperienced eyes, not much metal has been taken off.

So if any of you were to see this razor out in the Wild, what would be the maximum price you would pay? I would like to know how to make good life choices!
