    Default Judging the value of old razors

    I saw a couple of very old razors today at an antique store. Pre-1860s supposedly. The scales were wood about to fall off. I wasn't sure if there was too much rust.

    How does one go about figuring out what they are worth? Is there a blue book for razors?

    I didn't pick them up. I was hoping to find an old razor for about $10 to try my hand at polishing then honing. No luck. I think they wanted about $60/each, which is more money than I wanted to waste learning. Now I am thinking about trying to polish up and restore a 15 year old paring knife I have instead. I won't shave with it, but I might learn something and won't risk much.
