Thread: Newbie needs advice

Hello all,

I just bought this Straight razor in an antique store and paid $ 10.00 for it.

I' completely new to straight razor and i need some suggestions in regard to it.

This straight razor needs work because is not sharp and I cannot shave it with it.

My question is: is it worth it to have someone hone it? Is this a decent straight razor for a beginner?

I'm located in California and if it is worth it to have someone hone it for me do you guys know of anyone able to do it?

Please advise.

Thank you in advance.
