Is this worth the time?

[JamesHoward]

Hello All,

I have taken to filling my lunch breaks by wandering around antiques/ bric-a-brac shops, looking for pipes and razors. Last week I picked up two razors in a bit of a rush without having a proper look at them. One was a Puma which has a few nasty nicks on the edge and looks unsalvageable, and the other is (hopefully) pictured. Its a joseph Rogers, stamped England between the makers mark and tang and looks to have been ground. I just fancied a weighty Sheffield razor so took a punt, looking at the blade there is a mirrored bit in the centre with what look like grind marks surrounding it. The edge is good with no nicks, rust fractures etc.

So what I was wondering, is this razor worth the time to try and hand sand and polish (as a beginner) and possibly get honed (by a professional, or charitable person). Also is it supposed to be a wedge or has it been ground from something else?

Thanks for anyones time in response!
