New to straights, been shaving with the DE for awhile. I inherited a couple of straights years ago and decided I wanted to learn to appreciate and enjoy them.

Welcome to SRP, you found the right place to learn.
Welcome to SRP. I would suggest you find a someone to help you get them shave ready and then give it a whirl.
Welcome aboard plenty of great info here to keep you going
Welcome. I am sort of thinking you need a different razor. Heirloom razors need to be protected from us when we have just started out. We rand to be a little hard on gear and goon things from time to time. Buy nice and inexpensive second hand shave ready razor to learn on. Send the heirlooms out to be professionally honed and maybe cleaned up, depends on the razors. When you have you basic technique down and are not likely to do anything bad to your Heirloom ices bust them out. Heirloom pieces are awesome, and there is only one way to get them!
Hi and welcome. I would agree with Shaun find another razor to start with and keep the heirloom razors safe from newb mistakes. Good luck and any questions feel free to ask
Welcome to the forum, great place to learn and get advice on this obsession with super sharp blades. Enjoy your learning experience.

Be sure to send your vintage razors out to be professionally honed before you try to use them.

Welcome to SRP!
+1 for saving the heirlooms until you know how to shave. It's real easy to mess up a blade during the first few months.
Definitely read the Beginner's section in the library and watch some shave videos.
And if you can find someone nearby to help you, it will be all that much better.
Welcome to SRP. Everyone else is thinking it so I'm going to say it. Show us some pics of those heirloom razors brother!
Welcome! I also started out with a razor i inherited from me great grandfather. You got a good advise from Rezdog, you don't want to ruin a razor like that by accident.
Hope you enjoy the forum!
