Thread: Questions about old razors

Hi I have been left a few straight razors by my Dad when he passed. They have been stuck in box's doing nothing, I would like to perhaps try and sort a couple and try to use them. The question is can you get rid of the rust type marking on the blades, especially on the Tuckmar. I am not sure that is the original cover on the blade. Out of the first 4 pictures which do you think would be the easiest to get ready to use possibly the "Kobell"?? I would also like any feedback on the razors. I have about 10/14 razors but these possibly are the best or should I say cleanest. Again not sure how to clean them up. Interested in the ModoSo blade not sure if that is bone handle. Any english people in the area of Hereford who can help please let me know. Any help gratefully received.
