First time attaching a photo on this forum, will probably be asking for help/info on each of these as I decide what to do with them.

Upper Left (Black Scales) - The Torrey Razor Co. - Came with it's original box. Thinking I'll just clean this one up a bit with some polish and send it out to be honed.

Middle Left (Clear Yellow Scales) - Wade & Butcher - Came with it's original box. It's in decent condition, I like the scales, but am afraid I'd mess them up if restoring. Blade has a little surface corrosion/discoloration, and the edge appears that it's not exactly straight. Would really like some advice on what to do with this one.

Lower Left (Off White Scales) - Clements "Machete" - I think this one is just going to be sent out for a honing and used as is.

Top Right (Pearl Scales) - Dubl Duck "Goldedge" - Scales are in nice condition. The blade needs some help though...the corrosion is sort of laying on top of the steel...not what I would call pitting. I really want this razor to be nice, but again, afraid I'd mess up the restoration.

Bottom Right (Red Scales) - Red Imp 132 - Came with it's original box. Think I can clean this one up without disassembly and send out for a hone.

My original thought is that I wanted to find a razor that I wasn't worried about ruining, but when I came across this stash, it seems that I found a pretty nice variety of desirable razors. Now I'm concerned about ruining one of them...my goal is to end up with nice useable razors to use, not starting a big collection.

I may or may not have paid too much for these...I'm in at an average of $45/each. I don't remember what each one was priced at individually...I didn't pay that...I negotiated a price with the seller on the lot. Again I felt like this was a good variety, and didn't want to pass them up...way to easy to grab them all in one shot.

Your advice? What would you do with these razors?

Thanks,

Paul
