I'm about to pontificate.:soapbox: Get the abridged version by skipping to the 'SUMMARY'.
While this is, one one hand, true... it has a definite caveat. I've got a heap of razors I'm working on, and as I add skills and find new things that need doing I am perpetually buying tools, consumables, etc. Restoration is definitely not a economy tool- it is a hobby of its own, and needs to be approached as such. (Granted, with a blade in damn good shape, as can sometimes be found, you might do pretty well with a hone and some MAAS, but you'd still be cheaper buying from the classifieds.)
Beyond that, Some of these razors are cheating *&@%s. They look not-too-rough, but as soon as you put any pressure on them they split edge to spine because those pits are too deep, or you discover troubles with the temper, or that the edge is like Havarti.
Now, I would love to send Glen or Max or so a razor to work on, but that is an outlay too... totally worth it, as far as I've seen... but also expensive.
SUMMARY: Shell out $100 or so on the classifieds here and you can land yourself pretty much any style, shape, maker you want...most likely shave ready and shipping included.
