One of the razors I was recently given very clearly saw years of heavy use by the former user--the spine shows very wide, flat wear (I think you can see it in the picture below). The razor is a near-wedge, and I'm wondering if this hone wear would be detrimental to the razor's performance.

I assume that excessive hone wear would make honing an issue due to the change of the angle, but is it a serious problem? If so, is there anything to be done to counter it? Taping, perhaps?

The wear is even across the length of the razor, though it doesn't look it in the picture.

Thanks for any advice!
