Something odd happened today: I recieved my first ebay straight razor in the mail. First thing I noticed was that it was probably a 3/8 size; I'm used to a 5/8 and expected it to be about that size from the pics, but it ended up as a 3/8. Not a problem. After I buffed the tarnish off the blade, I noticed that the blade was quite sharp, sharp enough to touch up my earlier shave (DOVO) with no discomfort. Hone wear was even and light. The next thing I noticed was that there is definite pitting on the body of the blade near the toe and spine; so the upper left corner if the scales are fully extended to the right.

So the question: how does pitting that is remote in relation to the edge effect the razor as a whole? Is it worth sending to get fixed (I do not have the tools to do it myself) ?
