New to this group, been shaving with a straight razor since I had "peach fuzz"
Hi Everyone,
I'm Jimmy L., my father was a barber and taught me how to shave with a straight razor. He also showed me how to hone and strop a razor. I only wish I were as good as him. He became a barber in 1946 until he died in 2008. I have about 2 dozen of his and my grandfather's straight razor. They have been in a box for many years and some have tarnished and/or have tarnish spots. What is the best way to polish them without ruining the blades or their value? I'm new to this group and not sure where to look for an answer. If anyone knows and could guide me through this it would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached at jimslipuma@yahoo.com.
Thanks in advance.
Jimmy L.
