Thank you very much for the offer. I might give it a try on one of the more banged up blades--but given how much my hands shake I'm afraid of doing more harm than good.

The forums here at SRP offer more than enough advice to get you started, and I can say from experience there are few tasks more satisfying than shaving comfortably with a razor you've honed.

I also hate to return things, especially when the seller is a good person. I'm really probably just acting like a kid over the whole deal. I wouldn't miss them if they were gone tomorrow, and it's a purchase I shouldn't have made in the first place.

But at the same time... it would be fun to see them restored.

Thanks for your input everyone.
