Hi Everyone,

I am a total newb, but I would still like to restore an old razor instead of buying a new one. I want to send one away to get honed and I have purchased a strop. I am not to interested in esthetics (at least not yet) as I want to see if I like straight shaving before spending serious money. I have a thick beard and sensitive skin. Which one should I learn with?

I purchased these four razors. The two on the left side are Bokers. One is a hollow one is a flat. both are 5/8".

The bottom right one is a 7\8" Wade and Butcher. The cutler is Joseph Rodgerson and Sons, which, from my research is a good thing. The upper right blade is a 5\8" hollow. It's from Soligen and it says Edwards and Sons.
