Hi guys. I'm just starting out at this restoration lark, so I'm looking for something to to make some mistakes on! I have the option of these two for NZ$10, but want to know whether I'm wasting my time. The object at this stage is just to clean them up and bring them to a functional shave, then see about re-scaling if one shaves okay. Definitely not trying to win prizes, just learn the ropes.

It looks to me like the Bengall (I think - with the bone handle, I can make out the start of the T R Cadman name) might have potential. I can't even tell what the other is, and the rust near the edge looks a bit more than cosmetic.

I'm checking them out tomorrow but would like any feedback prior, I understand that starting on something that can't be saved is probably not a good idea.
Apologies for the low-res image! It's all I've got to go off at this stage.

Cheers, Rob
