I tried doing to some searching, but did not really find an answer to my question. If there is a thread already then please direct me and accept my apologies for asking again.

I want to start doing some razor restoration. While I already figure on looking for brands that are known for being good, what other things should I look at to see if a razor is a candidate for being restored while looking at auctions online? I figure on getting a couple of Henckels pretty soon to at least start getting my skills geared towards this art.

Thanks.
