Thanked: 563Welcome to SRP.
You’ll find a lot of good advice here, especially related to maintenance and restoration.
A lot of the members are probably salivating over the number and age of the razors you mentioned are in your grandfathers collection. A find like that doesn’t appear out of the blue very often.
We do have one rule of thumb: if there isn’t a picture, it doesn’t exist. We love photos of razors and good, detailed pics will help us offer meaningful suggestions and advice.
Hope to see your posts and your pictures in future posts.David

Thanked: 1083Welcome, enjoy your time.
Would be great to see your collection. They are some great threads on restoring razors that will help immensely.
Save a few heirloom razors, many here would love to have that privilege.

Thanked: 4830Welcome to the forum. I would say start with the least valuable razors. You would not be the first one to stuff a razor trying to learn restoration. Also learning to use them would also be a great advantage.

Welcome my new friend. As Rez was saying, start restoring a razor that dont need much and is not fancy or worth much. We have lots of info in our library about fixing , restoring and honing razors. Also a section on how to use them. That makes the fun much more exciting.
It's just Sharpening, right?
