Just bought an Edgar Allen Co. Ld. straight at a local yardsale that my wife insisted we stop at. I paid five bucks for it. It looks brand new (after a light cleaning) , barring one small problem- a nick in the blade. Its quite small, possibly the original owner dropped it almost immediately after purchase and then relegated it to a drawer somewhere. I honed it with a Norton 4/8 for several hours last night while watching a Yankees game and it would appear that I barely made a dent in that steel. The nick is just large enough to go through the honed area of the blade, no visible cracks. Couple of questions- Is this a good quality straight worthy of the time it will take to hone the nick out? Should I try to locate a grittier stone somewhere to make this go a little faster or just take the long road and keep at it with the Norton? I'd really like to add this razor to my rotation if its worthwhile. Any help at all, gentlemen will be appreciated. Thanks!
