Looks like you did very well, all of them are keepers.
What other markings are on the Black Diamond?

I'd keep all of them, at least for a bit. Hone them, strop them, shave with them. You might find one or two you really, really like.
Great score!Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

Very nice set of restores ahead. Look forward to the WIP threads for some of those beauties.

Nice collection you got there, take your time, restore them all and try them see which you like.
I'd keep all the Sheffield's but I'm a little biased that way

I'm gonna clean them up over time, but it is hard to do any serious restoration in my apartment with my schedule and the baby. It is a pain cleaning up afterwards as well. I going to focus on cleaning/preservation right now so I don't end up with more blades in a box needing to be rescaled!
My honing kit stones are basically a broken in half red/white 1/6k King stone and a couple small Barber hones I got cheap. So, honing will have to wait.
I may send the Black Diamond to someone like gssixgun eventually so it gets taken care of by a professional.
While the chips are small it seems to have a full heel that will require rounding the toe instead of raising the bevel as someone mentioned.
Most of my razors are rougher/pitted so it nice to have some clean blades with solid scales that really on need oiling and honing.ejmolitor37 and Paul76 like this.

Definitely going to take my time when I do work on any razors in the future. If I can't take my time I'm not going to bother because I will just end up messing them up. Done that enough already. Originally Posted by 782sirbrian

Biased towards certain razors? On this forum?
