As a newbie I bought a shave ready Gold Dollar from Billy on Ebay, heel and spine were modified, edge was as good as any. I also bought one factory fresh from China but never managed to get it shave ready. So I would recommend vintage Solingen without hone wear or smile to practice on for a newbie.
Any vintage razor without hone wear is like hens teeth, vintage ield, used many YEARS will have hone wear, dont look into that too much unless the wear is really bad. Most new blades are not shave ready, not Dovo and certainly not GD...
