This is my first razor I paid $25 how did I do? It is fixable, right?
Any info on its age, company how made anything like that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Yep. Just have to take the chip out and put a new bevel on it. As for cleaning , I think a good polish is also going to take the gold wash off. Sometimes if you look at it long enough it comes off :<0)

Thought that might be the case have to polish around gold wash.

Have the exact same razor, they take a very good edge. Would be worth sending it out for honing. That is a fair size chip, and may need a bit of re-shaping at the heel.

Any idea on the age of the razor?

In one picture it looks like there may be a crack there. You'll need to check that first.

Otherwise it will just take some big time honing.

Would be guessing, but '60s to '70s. Just watch out for that tip when you get it up and running. Very hollow ground razor, another reason why I would send it out. Not one I would attempt to repair if I were starting out. If not done properly, the chip may develop a crack.

I had not even thought about the chip turn into a crack, that makes sense

+1 Is that corrosion running up at a diagonal to the chip, or is it a crack ? Looks like a crack on my monitor too. If it is a crack the blade is done. If it is just the chip, send it out as others have recommended.

It's only corrosion I checked thoroughly :]
