Thread: Scored a Wusthof on eBay

I'd been looking for a Wusthof razor for a while, and I finally found one on eBay (they don't come up all that often) and looked like it might be able to be saved. Apparently I was the only optimist, so I was able to get it for less than a ten dollar bill. It was waiting in the mailbox today when I went home for lunch, and I was pleasantly surprised with what I found. It's definitely got some rusting and discolorations, but its going to clean up without any issues. In fact, the entire bevel will still cut arm hair. The pics I've attached are from the eBay ad, and the seller photographed the blade at a weird angle which makes it looks like someone has honed it down too much. However, the reality is that the blade is the same size as my other 5/8" razors.

One of the pins needs to be replaced, so I'm going to go ahead and re-pin the razor. Probably clean the scales up while I have them apart, but aside from a little buffing, this razor is going straight into service after its honed.
