I wholly agree to start with a decent vintage razor. You can find them for very reasonable prices and good brands and you can always get a member to hone it for you just by asking. I also suggest starting with an inexpensive strop. Cutting a good strop will make a grown man cry. Stropping is a skill acquired by practice an best practiced on something not so dear.View media item 63881is this any good??
okay thank you for the info now for the wait until i can go get them.They don't appear to have frowns or too much hone wear so they should hone up fine.
A little metal polish and elbow grease would make them look a lot better.
i saw another picture of the side you are talking about and yes it looks like the tip of scale broke and they rounded it off but left the other side pointed..........The second one either has odd-shaped scale or one side might be a bit broken at the top.
It would not disrupt usability if that was the case, but could be an eyesore.
