All those razors are great, and can be restored in any variety of ways. Except the first razor though - take that one and throw it in the trash

I do not disagree with this. But save the scales.

Really? the brandt? I kinda like that one though =/ since Prussia hasn't existed since like 1930s i thought it's interesting to have a razor made from there lol.

ohhhh I realise now thers alot of hone wear right?

Yeah, like Baldy said, just take off the heel from that first one. I did this on one of my razors simply by using the edge of my lapping stone. I find when I use a narrow razor I use only the first two thirds of the blade almost exclusively, i.e. I don't use the heel end. You'll still need to take the heel off so it sits flat on the hone, though. There is some nice patina on the last two, esp the 'Erwil' that you could consider retaining.
