A few members here have ended up at the emergency room when they had a momentary lapse of awareness. When treated with the respect they deserve, straight razors are wonderful tools and using those tools can be most enjoyable. So do your homework, pay attention to what you are doing, and have fun in the process.

    Hi and welcome aboard. All those razors look in good condition with light hone wear. They look like polish should remove most of it. Best to go light to start and see if they need more. Good luck and any questions feel free to ask

    Welcome, the pics look good, with the exception to possibly the middle razor. The pitting near the edge may give you troubles in reaching good steel for a bevel.

    Take Eddy's advise, and the others on looking in the library, there's some need to know info in there, before you get started. Don't ask me how I know...
