Hey all, I am totally brand new to honing, restoring, and all of the like. I just got 8 vintage razors for $20 at a flea market, and plan to get more. (pics coming soon) The razors all are in rough shape, but definitely workable. Most have small amounts of rust, pitting, and miscellaneous staining. The edges are dull, but have no major chips or cracks. A couple do not close perfectly centered, and some have rust on the pivot point. There is one with a small amount of a scale missing, but the rest of the scales are in good condition.
I am looking for some advice on equipment. I want to start in steps, so first, what equipment do I need to polish, remove rust and grime, and generally improve the appearance, without worrying about honing?
Secondly, what will I need in order to hone these to shave ready? I appreciate names and grits of stones, but would really appreciate links to good reputable stones and products.
I appreciate the help and will definitely post pics as I progress.


Thanks!
