Yes sure. But if you oil the razor with a non-resin-free oil and store it for a long time, the oil that is on the spine and the free blade is drying and dissappears or is whipped-off. I recently acuired a large collection of old razors where the collector does good withoiling.... The blades were hardly to move out from the scales, so thick was the resinfied oil. And above the scales there was blank iron on the blade.

So I think a good chance to get a great razor if the price is right to capture the risk of being damaged in any way.
