    Default How far gone are these?

    What kind of work would be required to make these two old boys shave again and look a little more attractive? Hopefully I attached these photos correctly. Thank you for any input you may have.

    Metal polish such as Maas, Flitz, Semichrome, on a paper towel, elbow grease. Hone to shave ready and that is all I would need. Nice pair of razors.

    It really depends on how much you are wanting to restore the steel. To get them looking new again you will need sandpaper or some greasless compound to get rid of the pitting. Like the guys said use some sort of metal polish (maas, flitz, mothers etc ) and see how you feel about it. Some pitting and patina isn't a bad thing and can give it an original look. Put a good edge on it and away you go

    Nice razors!
    On the top one with the transparent yellowish scales I would try to really get the insides of them clean, it makes them look much nicer.
    Otherwise see above!
