Good evening all.

The straight razor has been a bit of an interest as of late, so I figured I'd sign up and at least get some feedback on where I'm at.

That and with the rising prices of the mach 3's that eat it after two uses the costs are adding up, however I do have a few newbish questions.

1: I have two old razors that we're my grandfather's that I dug out. Would it be better to try and get them cleaned / sharpened back up or just buy a new one that's shave ready?

One is a J.R. Torrey and the other is in a Solinger case but doesn't have the name anywhere on the blade, so not sure on that one. Should I leave these two alone and just buy a new one or are there places that even sharpen them or is this something that I would have to undertake?
