It was already discounted some $40.00 off the original asking price, but the seller offered an additional $20.00 off if I wanted to keep it. Ok it has insane honewear, a ginormous bevel...pits. Still, I am going to see how it will shave (bevel set only so far) and if it is remarkable in any way I might try to spiff it up. Is it worth the effort if it shaves or just keep shaving with an ugly razor...hey, I don't mind having one ugly duckling.

Those are heavy wedges and SHOULD have a threaded hole in the middle of the spine to attach a guard.
A couple of layers of tape and hone it up!

Yep, it has the blow hole.

Hone 'er up Bill. If she turns out a nice shaver, spiffy 'er up too! I like that.............spiffy! I haven't heard that one in awhile. Love it!

They've got these too.

I tried the pen as well as the 'perma blue' from Birchwood Casey, but the Super Blue works much better IMO.

I can agree with that.
The pen is used for touch ups.
