    Default Looking for a good restorer

    Hello all,

    I recently picked up three vintage straight razors at a local flea market.
    As a newbie, I don't quite feel comfortable attempting to restore them myself. Any good suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

    Do you have pictures of these razors? If you're at all interested in trying to restore razors you could use one of those for practice. Sanding/polishing the steel is pretty easy and inexpensive as long as there's no major damage -- it just takes some time.

    Or just do what Utopian said.
