peg20 said:The photo on the auction is far too small to see the extent of the damage. There is definitely something going on at the blade edge; either serious damage or just image compression artifacts; it is difficult to see. If the former, then this looks like a very time-consuming restoration project (if it is possible). You will pay several times the auction price to get it shaveable.
Good luck!
EDIT: In fact, it looks like there is a crack at the point. If that's the case, then it looks like a write-off to me.
cozzyb said:So bought a Sheffield made vintage Straight from Ebay, from pictures it seems to have small damage, couple of small chips at the most, as this is completely new to me was wondering is anyone does a free honing, stropping service so I can get used to having a few shaves with it before having a pop myself.
Thanks a lot.

Pig Cat said:Cozzy, there are a small number of amateur honers here and it's possible someone will volunteer just for the experience, but if I was you and that was my first straight I'd want it done perfectly by a professional (no offence amateur honers!!). Straight razor shaving is tricky enough to start with, without the possibility that your edge isn't sharp. :shock:
