Thread: Possible straight razor for use?

This straight was apparently my great great grandfathers. While I will probably be getting a ready one in the mean time I am very interested in possibly getting this refurbished... if its worth it?

The blade is Dixie blue steel
Dixie mfg co, union city, ga

It's with my dad currently, per him the blade is much lighter in color than what the picture shows edge is still sharp some rust mostly oxidation. Do you think it would be worth trying to get this blade refurbished?
