    From one that is trying to find old family straights... WOW nice collection

    You have your fixer upers and some good users. I only have one from the various family members so far and lucky for me it was in great shape. Doing a reg hone rutine got it up and shaving just fine.

    Wish you good things on your treasures

    Nice family of razors. The only one that i noticed to be beyond salvage(based on the pictures) is the Sears, it seemsto have crack in the blade, noticalbe in the polished picture. I would send the Yankee shaver out for a honing and then start working on the cleaning and polishing of the others.
    Be just and fear not.

    Is the best sharpening service through Classic Shaving? or should I send it out to a different service?

    Thanks,

    Thanks,
    It's Lynn adjustme69 who does the honing for ClassicShaving, so you can just contact him directly. JoeC is also highly regarded. I got my first razor from JoshEarl, who also does honing. These are the honers I know of.

    Edit: Shouldn't get distracted when replying... JMS already answered it
