Should I restore this Anton Berg?
Hi!
First of all I have to say that I've never shaved with a straight razor yet. I got interested in them just a few days ago when I stumbled upon an article about them in the Art of Manliness blog. I've been reading quite a bit about them now and thought I should give it a go. I'm on a very low budget so buying a decent kit would have to wait for a bit. That's when I remembered that I saw this old rusty Erik Anton Berg straight razor lying around somewhere.

So I thought maybe I could restore it. The question is how expensive and hard it would be? Is it even doable? As you can see it's pretty rusty and I have a bad feeling it's been used for cutting wires or wood for some time as I found it in a toolbox. Would I be able to get it good enough, so it won't ruin the first straight razor shaving experience? Or would I be better off buying a decent kit in the future?
