Can you shave with it?
Not even close. That level of sharpness would only matter on axe if you intend to use it as a weapon. Chopping wood with edge like that would just bend it and make it dull prematurely.
Or chip the blade.
I don't think it's hardened. Softer steel doesn't tend to chip and harder steel is more difficult to sharpen.
