Thread: Are any of these blades restorable?

I'm very, very new to straight razors, and I managed to find one old American razor in very good shape as a starter. But of course, when I saw several razors for cheap this weekend, I couldn't avoid picking them up. The good news is I got them for very little, so if I've struck out, no worries!

I picked up a Special FW Engels, and it looks like a winner to me--there is just one worrisome little spot on the blade by the point, but I've never done a restore, so I have no idea if it's a problem. I think that one may be my first attempt at cleaning up an old blade.

The other two are Wade and Butcher blades. I have no idea if they're savable, and I'd hate to waste hours finding out they're not. I would appreciate opinions from those who've done this before. The smaller blade looks like a chore to me.

Do I have any winners? I just want a good shaver or two--nothing has to be gleaming and perfect. (Which is good, considering the bolt that "Carlo" replaced a pin with on the Wade and Butcher wedge after scratching his name on the blade!)

And also--I've looked for resources on using my Dremel for this, but not found out a lot. Can anyone point me toward info?

thanks!
