Thanked: 1936That is a nice razor and will last you a lifetime as long as you don't "practice" your honing with it. I HIGHLY recommend sending it to one of the members in the classified's for it's initial honing. Then you will have a reference when you are learning to hone on a cheap razor you find off the bay or at your local antique shops. Look in the wiki for the razors to avoid though, they made the list for a reason. Typically, any of the old razors from Germany or England (solgen or sheffield) will be safe ones. You would again probably be ahead by finding a cheaper razor off the classified's.
Best of luck & God bless,
