I am not sure if these are razors that I will use for shaving or for learning to hone. I think that the Boker is in pretty good shape, so I might stick it back until I get a good grasp on how to treat it. I am not really planning to start shaving with a straight for a bit, I am going to give myself time to adjust to the DE first, as my face is still in a bit of a transition from the disposables that I had been using. I am heading out this morning to a local spot where I found an old Higgins and an old Wade & Butcher for $20 per razor. Going to start grabbing them up so I will have something to work with when I learn the right technique.
