I have been into DE wet shaving for a long time and wanted to begin with straight razor shaving. After reading around on this forumI decided to buy a older razor and restore it.

I looked trough ebay after nice looking razors and looked up their names to see what quality they were. After missing out on Droescher blue diamond, I continued looking and ending up winning theese two:

Find Vintage GEBR.KORTE Solingen-Germany Blue Steel Straight Edge Razor on eBay Global Buying, with worldwide deals on items in all your top categories

Find G. Baker & Sons Vintage Straight Edge Razor on eBay Global Buying, with worldwide deals on items in all your top categories

Did I end up with a good deal? Or aren't they worth the money spent? Can anyone tell me more about theese razors?

I have also decided to learn how to hone a razor from breadknifed to shave ready (not factory shave ready). I have read some articles but are there any thing I cant go without haven read/seen?
