Thread: Recent W &B wedge purchase, which way to go??

\
So my recent purchase has arrived and now seeing it close up I am torn. The scales are in great shape IMO there is a chip in one but that doesn't bother me. The blade is tight in the scales. But where I am torn is, do I tear it down and really get after it? or do I leave it together clean it up a bit and enjoy it? I know it is user preference but I don't want to ruin any value the razor may have because I tore it down. I also have a question with the blade, there are some rough marks on the blade are those factory grind marks? I was also wondering is this a true wedge or a microtome? I just want to hear what you gents opinions are. For now I am holding off since I can not really seem to decide what I want to do with it. At first I really wanted to polish the snot out of it and now I am not so sure....
