Recent purchase, not what I was expecting!
Just opened up my most recent purchase. It was a no picture sale on eBay, but a very detailed description. I didn't bid right away, but watched it and how no one else was bidding. As the final minutes were coming to a close, I put up the first bid and won the razor. Well, here it is. Seems it has a fair deal of hone wear, but that shouldn't effect its shaving ability. Afraid to clean it up for fear of ruining the etching in the blade. What are your thoughts?

Yeah, unfortunately is has been honed into the etching. You have a really good point there. I guess this makes it a matter of preference...

Alrighty roo! Step number two...
Polished and honed, took an edge like a champ. I must have taken some poor pictures because there was no frown of any sort. The bevel did rise a little more into the etching, but it was already pushed into before I started.
I didn't do a deep restore for fear of ruining what is left of the etching. I kinda like the aged look on this one. Even if it was a mirror finish the hone wear would still show its legacy, why hide it? Am I right?
