Since it appears that you ride via your avitar, I'll cut you some slack...no pun intended!!

You mention blade damage, could you be more specific? Nicks & cracks in a blade are typically considered damage. Hone wear is just hone wear, though not desired, typical of well used razors...kind of like mileage on a auto, it's going to happen over time. How much hone wear is too much? That's one of those opinion things & we all have our set limits/opinions. I've kept mine around so that I may regrind it one of these days, but it's "just a razor" & not a heirloom.
