Hi eod7. That razor (based on just this one picture) can certainly be made to shave, but has quite a bit of hone wear and possibly a "frown" in the edge that would need to be honed out. Hard to tell on that last part.

On the "sharpen anything" part, I'm sure you can, which will get you 25% of the way with a razor. The rest is about polishing the edge for a comfortable shave, and you really have to learn that part (which is specific to razors). I recommend buying a shave-ready razor from a known seller of shave ready razors to start.

Oh, and welcome to the forum!
