Sorry I'm green when it comes to shaving
I was just given some straight razors from my grandfather, whom was passed on from my great grandfather. Anyway, i do not believe that they are anything to spectacular, but one says that it is Best English Steel on the blade and the shank says Cosmo MFG. CO. Germany and it has a square head, the other was made locally in Charleston WV. by MacGill and Markell, and is also a square head. I went to a local barber and he showed me how to hone then said he would try to locate an old carborundum hone that he had for me, but to never shave with the razors so i do not cut myself. I would really like to learn though bc i used to watch my grandfather shave with them. Does anybody have any pointers as far as creames or soaps or just general info.
Thanks!
