Good razor. In great shape, blade sits in scales very nice. Good right pin. Blade does not need polishing. Some hone wear in spines Possible to buff out with time. This razor is not shave ready. Will need to be honed properly. No chips on the blade. Just slimming out the collection The maker is one of the best quality strait razor and knife makers for the last hundred years. Age of this razor is unknown. Some razors are hard to tell the age. I have seen a hundred year old razor in great shape and a 30 year old razor in poor rusty condition. Please text or call
