Thanked: 15After a bit of panic. I'm leaning to stained not cracked. We'll see when it arrives.
For the hone, do you think I need to go as far as 600 wet dry? Thanks.

No don't go wet and dry. 1k is fine to fix that blade.
When starting out with this kind of thing, from bitter experience, never start at extremes. Always work your way back that way you won't do something you can't recover from.
Imo a good set of circles ooh the 1k would fix that. Don't be tempted to bread knife, just hone it out.

Thanked: 2591looking at the other pictures, I do not like the condition at all. Lots of tiny black spots that may be a sign of devils spit .
I would not buy that razor personally.Stefan

Post pic when it arrives.
Press the blade on your thumbnail at area of incidence. This will confirm or deny crack past chip concern.
If no crack then fix with high angle of incidence hone, not quite a breadknife.
If you think its too much work, return and get out.
I cant call Devils spit from those images.
If anything its a good learning experience.Your only as good as your last hone job.

It seems to be done from what I can see. Hope I am wrong....
"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

Hard to tell from pic but hopefully it's a stain. If it's a huge crack that wasn't disclosed in the eBay add you can get a refund. If it's just chipped you can hone it out on a 1k no problem. It looks to me like a chip and a stain. I like to work chips out with an extra layer of tape so I can use a bit more pressure without widening the bevel.
