Once again, i'm not interested in return or contact the vendor... i agree with you... many vintage razors are just a gamble... and in fact you xan consider lucky if you get a good one from ebay... but you guys have to agree this is a great controversial topic ☺☺☺☺

Thanked: 3215“uhhh it was not in a good condition.. to be honest i think someone sanded this horizontally on a couple of sports with sand paper.. maybe 1000 or 1200 to remove one stain or two...
but worst part is that the honed it unevenly for a long time”.
That makes sense.
So, just to be clear, you are not doing a garden variety honing, you are doing a repair. A completely different set of expectations. You would not take a rusty car, give it a light scuffing and spray a new coat of paint, expecting a pristine finish paint job.
Once repaired, then it can be honed normally, if the steel will handle it.
On an abused blade, you can expect some damage at the edge from weakened steel. In your case, the bevel was most probably never “fully” set.
This is not a shave ready edge.

Thanked: 3215So, if the horizontal stria, from hand sanding, the bevel was never fully set, the bevel was never flat and honed to the edge.
Joint the edge on a 1k and reset it, see if you can get a pit free edge and an edge that will hold.
Look at another currently running thread. (Ding near toe... go right to the 1K?)
Look at post 29, and a 1k edge from Job15, that is what you want at 1k
Keep lightly jointing the edge and resetting until you get a straight edge pit free.
