Thread: Found these 3, any good?

The first razor looks like it would make a good shaver. The WB edge is plagued by deep pitting which would always leave a broken serrated area where pitted when honed. Same for the third razor, but less so. Any vintage razor is a good razor to start to learn honing and restore though. You never know how a razor will come out until you try.

thanks. Should I even bother trying to clean up the others or will they not really be worth the effort?

Fine abrasive polishes like Maas or Flitz, some soft cloth and some careful scrubbing do wonders for quickly spiffing up found razors. Give it a try.

The first thing I do with a razor is hone it to the point where I'm either through the corrosion to good steel or I find that it is going to be swiss cheese and micro chips. Then it is a lost cause and no point in putting more time into it.
