Two to 3 laps on a barber hone and it'll be good as new.

Man! I really love the look of the worked edge on that beauty! They just dont make them like that anymore, such craftsmanship and design!

My guess is the previous owner rinsed it in battery acid after every shave.
That, or he used it for chopping rocks.

It is obvious the prior owner needed a barbas duras razor.
I think I will inquire if he'll make it shave ready before shipping.

I don't see the issue here. So it has a bit of rust on the blade, but a nice restore should take care of that. Just restore it, hone it up, strop it (can I borrow your strop for a little bit?) and give it the old shave test.

A little sandpaper, a little polish and voila! You have a shiny POS.

You mean a WHOLE lot of belt sander, some more belt sanding and voila, a nice ice pick... that's it a $49.99 ice pick that retracts back in the handle...sort of, cause the handle is falling apart too. It might have a couple of good pins... You always wanted a custom POS ice pick, didn't you??
