Thread: Is this razor usable???

Ok, so I seriously bought this razor on eBay since it is so small and it appealed to my girlfriend for her to use shaving. I can obviously restore it and all, but is it really supposed to be used to shave with? Would it take an edge???

It is a Krusius Brothers, Germany razor. Blade is seriously about 1.5" long (cutting edge). Now I think it would still be usable if it weren't for the spine... or lack there-of. The spine is barely noticeable (check out the pics). Would I use an angle just by holding it up like honing a kitchen knife? Sorry the spine picture is kind of hard to see, but the spine is on the right (looks thick on left because of tang behind the blade). Any thoughts here? It looks like it could be pretty precise and maneuver well for a woman if honed. I'm pretty much stunned by this thing. I mean the scales look like bone- why would the thing be un-usable???
