I think that razor will be fine once honed properly, when i started honing i got a WB to practice, it had a large chip not deep but long, once the chip removed and honed properly its a killer shaver but ugly as sin!!

Note bruseth that not all razors require stabilizers though. Only higher grades of hollow ground blades require the extra strength to support their super thin blade edges. Half hollow through to wedge do not have stabilizers
We all are always learning :) I am a newbie like yourself bruseth, I started this epic adventure about 5-6 months ago now :)
