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.

Absolutely, that level of sharpness would be detrimental, but was just wondering how much you overdid it.
