Thread: I dove right in! Thoughts on this lot of razors?

Well, I'm very, very new here and to the idea of shaving with a straight razor. I've tried using a Paker straight w/ replaceable blade, but it just doesnt seem sharp enough. So, I saw a guy with a lot of 6 razors for sale locally on craigslist. So, are any of these decent razors? The more I'm learning and reading, the more I'm concerned I just bought a bunch of junk.
Lots of pics here:

List of what I got (what is stamped on the Tang)

Woodpecker.
G.G. Thomas OTTUMWA, IA, Made in Germany
-notes - scales are broke. Might clean up pretty well-



Barbers Choice Hollow Ground
N. SHURE CO Germany
-notes-scale broke on this one too. Not sure how this one will clean up.

KROPP
Made and Ground in Sheffield, Eng.
-notes- This is a pretty big and hefty blade. Some staining, but not much major pitting. Hopeful this one can be restored to a good razor-


Uncle Sam
Germania Cutl Works
Germany
-notes- Rust will probably clean up fairly well. The edge has some pitting and will need to be redone.


Fox Cutlery
Fox Trademark Logo on one side
66EH, Fox Cutlery on the other
notes-alignment with the scales is a little 'off'. touches when closed. Seems like it'll clean up.


North Star?
It has 'North' and a pic of a star one side.
Made in Germany for Alfred J. Krank, St. Paul Minn
Seems pretty clean, not much rust to clean up on this one.

Are there any that you'd definitely keep and restore? Any that are total junk and shouldn't waste any time?

I really appreciate it!
