I can't believe I even thought of calling this thing (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=012&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=220044368144&rd=1&rd=1) new. Anyway, just picked it up on Ebay. Wondering how it will clean up and shave. I am thinking of using it as my starter razor. I figured I would clean it up, then have it honed by someone else, and use it to learn shaving and stropping. Then when it needs honing, I'll start shaving with my Wacker, and learn how to hone with this.
Point is, I don't have to care if I hurt it.
It is pretty messy at the moment. There is definitely going to be a pitting in a couple of places in the grind. On the other hand though, I bought it because the edge actually looks very clean to me. What do you think?
I figured I'd just go at it with fine steel wool and some metal polish and see how much I can clean her up.
I don't know much about it, except that it is Henckels, so I am counting on my understanding that any razor stamped with that name was a pretty decent shaver.
