I really did try to find more information on them before i posted on here but couldnt find a great deal..... hence finding this place and deciding to ask about them... its natural to wonder what something is worth...
Do i need to get them honed ? they seem very sharp and as i mentioned were previously owned by a carpenter ... all his tools were very sharp, every chisel, every draw knife, custom made knifes etc... every thing in his garage would slice a rizzla paper no problem... i also have the old honing stones from the same collection... he obviously was a pro when it came to sharpening blades.... how often do you normally get them honed ?
Thanks
There may be a day when you want all six of them. It would be a shame to let go of them before you give yourself a chance to get hooked.

For the most part, I use 7 razors and touch them up about every three months. That's probably 10-12 shaves, which is likely more often than I need to. I have more but don't want to part with the little fellers.

I would still send them out to be honed because they may be sharp, but you don't know for sure how sharp. I bought a razor about three months ago. The seller made no claim they were shave ready, but it seemed really sharp. My face was filleted. I have a little 100X microscope and ooooh, it looked like the teeth of my saw in the outdoor shed.

Regarding the value of the razors, I don't really care how much mine are worth. They treat my face nice, and I have fun looking at them and using them.
