If you find that you like it, then you can go ahead and invest more time and money in restoring them. If not, you can just pass them on to someone else to do it.

Good advice.


What a great find. I'd like to stumble upon something like this!

The irony in all of this is, I don't shave. I have a full beard. I haven't shaved more than my neck in three months. Not too sure about starting with a straight so close to my juggler. My wife would certainly be happy though. She hates the beard. I'm gonna take a couple of them to a local barber to see if he can hone them for me and get them shave worthy.

Well, the reality is; if you wanted to get rid of them you'd surely have some takers around here. You said your relative was going to ask $15/ each OBO. Shoot, I'll give you $10/ each for a few.

I would take the member(s) here up on their offer to hone it for you. Not to knock your barber or anything.
