My 1 to 10 Rating...
8+ 
 
Comments: Beautiful ivory in pristine shape. Care and awareness is necessary to maintain them. They need to be cared for with a gentle hand. This would not be a good choice for a heavy-handed strop user. You would break them at the pivot eventually. If it were not for the evidence of past pitting on the tang, this would have easily been  a $300 razor. Very well made English steel. A true gentleman's razor and it's obvious that it was made for the aristocrat.

1 to 10 scale
All razors found on these pages are judged by their weakest points
1 ~ 4 Broken or chipped or shortened blades, missing pieces, very deep pitting, damaged scales, active rust, needs moderate work on blade or scales to be functional.
5 ~ 6 May have the following: light to moderate evidence of past pitting to at least 30% of the blade, hairline cracks that do not affect function, not necessarily pretty but still functional as a shaving tool, can have shortened blade if scales have also been shortened, no active rust, moderate hone wear allowed. 
7 ~ 8 Less than 30% evidence of past oxidation to blade, no glaring damage to blade or scales, in good condition but with minor flaws, non-custom scales may not be original to blade, light to moderate hone wear possible, most of my razors are in this range.
