    Looks pretty good.I meen this company stopped production in 1923, so its pretty old.Doesn'tk like it has any serious rust or uneven honing wear.I say go for it.Its not like you risk losing a fortune

    good luck

    Koken steel:

    I still regret selling my last Koken razor they are super smooth shavers and very high quality steel.... That one looks to be in good shape blade wise...

    It has some black spots (rust?) on the bevel and possibly a slight frown. Will need some work IMHO.
