Its a pity because its SOOO clean and shiny - very nearly perfect. Look s(from checking the edge witha loupe) that it was probably honed very little....

That sounds about right. Be careful to leave a flat edge parallel to the spine. Don´t try to cut the metal too quickly. Take your time and check often.
I feel your pain.........I bought a Filarmonica Sub Cero that would have been NOS if it wasn´t for a chip in the blade. It has never been used:- http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...ntal-work.html
