Hi, and welcome to SRP! We'd love to see your razors, post a pic or two. Heirloom razors are highly thought of here because a lot of the members would cherish a piece of their family history, but seems many of the old razors were just tossed when their forefathers passed on. I, like you, was lucky and found 6 or 7 in an old cigar box. Not the prettiest, but the most valued too me!

Reading up on shaving, technique and prep, and razor maintenance, etc. will really benefit you as you begin this journey. You'll find a link below to the wiki which has some great help items in it. Also this link to the beginners tips will help too. Straight Razor Place - Welcome to Straight Razor Place Lots of members here to help, so ask away when you have questions. Also, if you do ever decide to send out a razor for honing, maintenance or restoration, the links to our classifieds and vendors are below too. You'll find some incredibly talented craftsmen here at SRP.

Glad to have you on the forum! Enjoy, and great shaves!!

Regards,
Howard
