When I was new I bought a handful of these too. I didn't shave with them but I used them to get started honing. The ones I bought didn't have a ton of active rust but many of them were roughed up pretty good. But all I wanted them for was to get some practice with the hones. Preferably you don't spend too much on them. Later I packaged them together and sold them to another member who used them for the same purpose. I would never start learning to hone or restoring on anything that I thought I might be disappointed to ruin. I don't do restoration work but if I were going to try putting one on a buffing wheel for the first time, I would want it to be junk until I had a feel for it. And then of course there probably are a few fools who think they can put a polish on a turd.
