another yard sale find. This is marked challenge cutlery Bridgeport Connecticut.

Has some surface rust that looks like it can be bidder out.

I’m looking for any info you have and someone to make it workable.
 
You should make one thread for all these razors/questions, probably.

This is your run of the mill American Razor. Challenge was (obviously) a cutlery company. Nothing really exceptional (in a good or bad way) about their razors in my opinion. Should be a pretty easy restore as its problems look mostly superficial (light rust and grime). It's not got serious damage or hard to fix wear. Really just needs a honing and a bit of sandpaper, just like the other two you've posted.
 
Some of that rust on the edge might give you issue, but it might be just on the surface. A good cleaning and honing and it should be good to go. A nice American razor. Its worth a little work to make shave again.
