So, for this JaNorton experiment I'm going to need two razors. Since one of the stated goals is to illustrate that the hobby does not need to be super expensive, I figured I'd use one of the cheapest razors I've gotten off eBay. It's a Greaves & Sons 7/8 wedge. The scales were badly broken, the blade pitted and chipped.

And, well, it's still pitted and a little chipped. But this is what I was able to do with about 4 hours work on the Dremel and hand-sanding. I'm not at all happy with the finish on the blade, and the scales I've put it in aren't really finished (hence the microfasteners to hold the blade instead of proper pinning).

However, I am very happy with the regrind on the top and the added grob (the little flat area at the toe-end of the spine).

There's more work yet to do, but I need to get more sandpaper first.

(The scales look okay in the picture, but they're my first attempt and oh dear god, never shape scales with a Dremel. Just don't. Or, if you do, please don't tell me about it.)
