Welcome to the forum. Is it worth refurbishing to use? For me it would be.

It’s a well know brand and is likely in decent shape. If you can get a clean bevel setit is totally worth restoring.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

Welcome to srp.
Yes, clean it up as much as possible but unless you do some serious sanding i dont think its going to get the devil spit out of it. A nice shaver for sure.JP5 likes this.It's just Sharpening, right?

Welcome to the forum. If you can set a clean bevel, definitely clean it up.
Odd place to find a straight razor though! Guess machinists have to shave too.

there was 2 of them in the tool box. one was beyond help. i would have to send it out to have it refurbished, which looks like $80 or more. meanwhile i might oil it and put it away for a later date, then being a beginner, pick up a shavette to learn on.

another issue i have is we will be moving to the southern philippines early in 2021. since i will not be doing my own hone jobs, as i am 74 now and the learning curve is steep, where would i get the blade honed?. i will have to look into it. meanwhile i ordered from walmart a equinox savette with 100 pkg of derby blades for 13.74. reviews for it were a few horrible but most ok, for the price what could go wrong?
