Sh.....t..if thats true i'm the winner in my opinion...lol I love my collection...I mean that's if you love 8/8+ razors. LMAO i think since 2012 I have amassed a cool collection but if I want to start shaving, up keep and restoring then what I have is not enough. I need to invest abit more. i'm just now learning about honing stones and what goes into that. And now I need a DMT 325 or something...so the bank account is def going to come in handy at this point. Im on the look out now for my first 11/8's. And more George Brittain Razors. First full shave coming soon.

Well, Cheetah, I could recommend this; Get you a round-point hollow ground, possibly a smaller wedge, about 6/8, with a fine maker's name on it.
Make certain it will shave before trying it. I mean to get a razor from someone you know can get a good edge and test it.
Oil those beasts until you learn some stuff. Good you are getting hones but you need a shaving and somewhat less unwieldy utensil upon which to learn. First, you must get a decent strop. Then you must shave. And, most importantly, learn to shave properly. Rule.

This is SPARTA!
