I’m wanting to get into / try out straight razor shaving. I’m planning on ordering a new ready to shave razor soon. However today I picked up an A. W. Wadsworth & Son razor. I’m planning on trying to hone it and see how it works out.
The razor looks to be in decent shape for 15 bucks at the antique store. It has only one minor nick in the blade. The others they had where torn up. Probably fixable but beyond my ability.
If I can’t fix it it’s probably gonna get turned into a decorative piece. Only thing I’m concerned with is it looks like the edge may be off ever so slightly. Maybe it’s the way the razor is made. I’m not sure.
It also has Swedish Steel Hollow Ground on the blade but it’s very had to see. Would you hone this razor and give it a shot?
