As far as restoring razors to reach that goal(making money), not so high a grade.
Even if you can turn out a good product, you will probably "overprice" yourself right out of the market; for two reasons-
1. Your objective is clearly profit.
2. Your products will compete with "Masters' in this art of straight razor restoration that have spent a lot more time evaluating that cost/time ratio.

Everyone that I have seen refurbish or polish a razor, seems to do it for the love of the art. I don't believe that any one of them feeds their families with their work. Your product will reflect your feelings about the art.

IMO, there are more "profitable" endeavors to do with your time.
Fair enough. I take it I came off rather wrong in the first post. I should express that I'm not merely interested in making a profit, I simply discovered that I really enjoyed this first razor and would like to continue restoring blades (sans what happened at the end). I cannot, however, justify starting a collection of razors and would need to turn them back around for a reasonable price which I had hoped would exceed the original purchase price to help fund and maintain the necessary supplies and perhaps a little on top as well. As I've said, I'm already making enough at my job, but a little extra helps justify the obsession to my wife

Thanks for all of the feedback so far!
