PM sent,..

I could do something for you on the razor second from right, in last pic. I like the nasty ones to work on.

This one that says WADE & BUTCHER SHEFFIELD and MAN'S FAVOURITE on the blade?

Wow Mike, speechless.

Do you need a 58 year old apprentice?

This is the last and somewhat the ugliest of the razors I have.

They look like they all have cell rot (it's caused by the old celluloid scales breaking down). The gas can travel and degrade others near it.

I'd toss the far right one and the one with the chip and broken point and take the scales off of the other two, they may be salvageable.

Ooh. There a Droescher in there. Nice! Roy's right. Definitely lose the one on the right in the last set...far, far away, probably might as well get rid of the one with the broken blade also.

Take Outback/Mike up on his offer. You cant go wrong there. And as other have said, trash that rusted out blade. Dont put it back with the others. This is what klls many razors. Just being in the same area of good steel will ruin the good stuff.

Yep....lots of ugly in there, most looks salvageable, some is probably junk. One for sure..
