Thread: Wear and tear on a razor

After seeing a thread today about a certain wade & butcher, it got me thinking. Obviously, that was an abused or at least, a heavily used blade, but what is exactly acceptable hone wear? What is too far gone? I have to ask your professional opinions on a razor I picked up happily for $5, my J A Henckels 'cut well' 'square' point hollow ground.


This is what it looked like when I got it. It has since seen three rounds of autosol and is pretty much gleaming. I know that the point or 'toe' is now smiling prominently, but what do you guys think of this blade?
