My Grandfather owned a barber shop for many years across from the Varsity in Atlanta. It was called the Yellow-jacket. I just recently came into possession of several of his straight and safety razors and a strop. They probably are not worth a lot of money but they are priceless to me. I was looking at sending them off to be restored but in reading some of the posts here I am gaining confidence to restore them myself. Not just for aesthetics but I would like to actually shave with them. Can someone either direct me to a link or give me some steps to take and recommend products to start the process? Rubbing compounds, grit, scale cleaning. A couple are extremely pitted and probably cannot be restored but others aren't terribly bad. Thank you all in advance!
