sorry but I respectfully disagree,
I think that honing is not something that should cost 15-20 dollars per razor, in some exceptional cases it should cost this. From what I've seen it takes about 15 minutes for an experienced honer to set a bevel and bring up an average Ebay razor to shaving sharp, and I doubt the average SRP member is making $80.00 per hour.

As far as me getting an exceptional deal and costs of "restoring" a razor, I just don't feel that in general it takes that much time to get a razor cleaned up unless it is a rust bucket. Get a no name dremel some sandpaper and a little polish and your pretty much set unless there is major pitting.
But perhaps it is just that I am cheap. Or maybe the fact that I enjoy scrubbing off a bit of gunk off my razors to find the treasure beneath.
How much do you think these Ducks will go for on SRP once the new owner has cleaned them up and sharpened them?
