    That's a lot of rust, and I woud disagree with your prediction that after restoration it will be a 'jaw dropper'. After moderate restoration you will have deep pitting, after heavy regrind you will have narrow razor (if you keep the width and just narrow the spine it won't be a razor because you can't put a proper edge on it).

    Yep. That active rust is a bummer. Still, if you do not know what to do with it, best to sell as-is. I might advise to put some penetrating oil on the rust and lightly scrape away some. Lightly. That would tell bidders more about it. JMO

    I rest my case.

    fortunately the rust is light surface rust. You will not have to go very deep to knock it off.

    Rust on a razor leaves pits.

    It can be cleaned up though and made useable and there is no reason a person can not take pride in it.

    I don't think this is correct. I suspect that you have never cleaned up, or had somebody else clean up a razor with this level of rust, or you'd know what the end results look like.

    And big plus to everything that sharptonn said - if you don't know what to do, better not try to fix it and sell it as it is, but meanwhile put a good amount of mineral oil (wd40, 3-in-1, etc.) all over the steel.
