As it sits, I'm making enough at my current job but have a lot of spare time. I was thinking I could buy quality but tarnished blades of off eBay and turn them around for $40-100 shave-ready depending on the quality of the blade. It wouldn't work out to much per hour, but I had hoped it could pull out a couple hundred a week and help pay off the tools I need to maintain my own blade.

But maybe that's ridiculous? I guess I forget what a niche pleasure straight-razor shaving is.

couple a hundred razors a week ? WOW
one blade that needs full restore takes a few hours to get buffed , scales couple of hours with the sanding, and much longer if you apply finishes.
Honing depends on the case but more blades means more hours spent on the hones.
In short several hundred razors a week can be turned out only @ Dovo factory, and not at the home shop.
