They arrived yesterday! They were, as expected, Not 'never used' as stated.
1 of the 7 is toast. Small chip dead center of edge, then cancer started creeing towards the spine. It appears there was a thin crack from the edge, creating an avenue for the water and rust to follow. IF if was just the rust, I'm sure I could fix it. However, the crack is all the way thru. Kinda hard to tell from the pics. But, you can see it in the magnified pics.
3 others looked like they tried chopping a tree down with them. Chips in the edge that turned into micro 'tears'. After completely removing the edge to good metal , surprisingly enough, they all took a nice bevel.
They others just needed the bevels reset.
6 rehoned and stropped up. 'Sunday' is the one with cancer, so I shaved this morning with 'Monday.' These little blades sure talk a lot !! All in all, I can't complain, as I fell I got them right.
Here's the cancer patient:

This is a little higher on the blade, still showing the crack. The thick black horizontal line at the bottom of the pic, is the bottom line of the center 'etching.'
