Thanked: 603Gorgeous Old Scales, Worn-Out Blade
Shalom!
I recently moved to the wet-shaving lifestyle, and purchased a lovely Red Imp #133 (Solingen, made for Morrison). I also just bought another straight razor (unlike wives, where one is more than enough). The second razor has (IMHO, all being subjective) gorgeous scales, but the blade is worn-out and needs to be replaced (or surgery). Here's the URL where you can see a photo:

So many questions!
Might this blade be restorable? If so, would it be worthwhile? If not, are there sources for purchasing new (or "previously-owned") straight-razor blades, either from a commercial source, an individual, or an auction on eBay (where the scales are cracked, or just plain butt-ugly)?
Any/all help will be appreciated. Note: I've got no tools, so at this point I'll either have to go use friends' facilities, or send it off.
