Be glad you didn't win it. Really.

The edge is so pitted that it would have been a 7/8 razor by the time it was restored, and it would have some atrocious hone wear as well.
Unless you'd have it reground by which time you'd have spent an additional 80$ in shipping and cost, and it'd still be < 8/8

Actually, no I didn't get it.
Didn't bid either.

The damage I mention is clearly visible on the pictures.
