Welcome.

Well, you stumbled upon the right place, that's for sure. The gentlemen here really know their stuff. And they are great at helping newbies with questions. Many Forums have Forum Police that just wait for some poor noob to ask a question that's already been asked, and then they pounce on him like he has committed a federal offence. Not here. No question is out of bounds. So relax and enjoy.

Your razors are worth whatever they mean to you. I would not worry about market value, I'd worry about how you like them and how they shave. There is lots to know. Honing, stropping, lathering, blade angle, pressure, and much more. But don't let it intimidate you. Men have been shaving with straight razors for centuries with great success. If THEY can do it, YOU can do it. Heck, If I can do it, then certainly you can do it.

Enjoy the forum!
