This looks like a standard German or U.S. 5/8" razor, not much hone wear and perfectly good to shave with. If you're interested in straight razor shaving it would be a fine razor to start with, but it will need to be honed first by an expert.

These razors were made by the millions and the blanks could be etched or stamped with the name of a store, a cutler, a barber shop, etc. Many of them were never marked and were sold for $2 or $2.50 (in the early 1900s so think 10X today).

It's every bit as good as a modern German straight razor, but worth very little at an antique store or maybe less on eBay.
