Seeking some info on these razors (many pics)
Let me preface this post by saying that I am new at this having only been SR shaving for about two months now. I've realized that one razor is certainly not enough and therefore I've been hitting the antique stores and flea markets hoping to find some candidates to create a rotation. These were found yesterday at an antique store nearby. The guy had about 50 or so razors in a paper bag and allowed me to pilfer through them. Here's what I came away with.
Shumate 0125 in really good shape. I assume made in USA? (I've heard these shave well)

Emil Voos, Black King with bone or horn scales? about 11/16" Some staining one one side of the blade (I really can't find anything about this razor.)

I would really like to find some info on the Voos as well as the approx. ages of the W&Bs. I assume the last razor is a good restoration candidate. I read a thirty or so page post about cleaning/polishing blades in a vibratory tumbler and I'm seeking guidance on this as well. Thanks
