A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao-tzu
Chinese philosopher (604 BC - 531 BC)
For most of us we can look back and say it does not matter what we started with (assuming it was shave ready, and we had a spare) but that we started.
It does take a little time and effort but it gets better quickly with a little study and practice.
And I suspect that most, if not all, wished they had started years ago..
Suggest if you have not already read the intro guide Beginner's guide to straight razor shaving - Straight Razor Place Library that you give a a couple of reads, then go for it...
The razors you mention - shave ready - are great razors to start with.
And as another wise man once said:
Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy."
-- Norman Vincent Peale,
American minister and writer

They should do. Just make sure they really are shave ready. Know the source , don't just believe some of the eBay sellers. Tc

As long as it's truly shave ready you can and will learn to use it. Be careful those stables multiply

I don't know anything about the razors but my girl got sick a long time ago of hearing me talk about shaving. After a while they just accept the fact that it's an interest of yours. Good luck with those razors, vintage blades are always a solid choice.
