Looks decent, but has a bunch of honewear. I have always hated his presentation pics, the angles are weird and can hide some blade problems, such as heavier honewear .
Profile pics of the blade will eliminate the need of half the pics and give better idea of the blade condition.

Check out Lynn's video on honing:

That razor still has plenty of life left in it and should give you many years of shaving.

Do you guys think I paid to much , 45$ , I'm from Worcester mass , and really wanted this razor

Although not allowed to value a razor, that is some fine steel.

A bit of hone wear but I would not have shied away from it.

You will have a fine shaver when it is honed, that first shave will be the testament,

if you are happy with the shave is the price too high for a lifetime of service.

Very true if I can use this razor for many years to come and enjoy it , then 45 bucks will be a steal, I'll give every one an update once I get this bad boy and get it shave ready
