Just registered and don't know squat about straight razors. Thanks for the opportunity to join and learn.
I found this forum and thought I'd see if I could learn something new.
I was given 9 razors buy a friend who's father used to shave with them. Don't know if I want to use them (never shaved with a straight razor) or just "hang em' on the wall". All of them except two are in excellent shape. One has a nick in the blade and the other has a broken handle at the end where the blade attaches.
I wanted to get some info as to how to shave with them (might give it a try), if I should try to sharpen or hone them and if possible their value. I think two of them have Ivory handles.
If you all would like I could post pics of them.
Let me know if I'm at the right place.
