Hi Ernie, and welcome to SRP!
I agree 100% with Jimmy's advice. Since I don't have a razor that came to me through my family, I can appreciate how precious such an heirloom would be. So if I were you I definitely would use it one day, but maybe not right now. However if you do want to use it, send it to a pro to be honed, and don't go *anywhere* near it with hones yourself until you've got a firm grip on the process by practicing on other, less precious, blades.
And then enjoy using it for the rest of your life, and pass it on when the time comes.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

All,
Wow, you guys are great. I am going to do as you suggest; get a decent razor to start out shaving with, then practice honing, then get Gramp's razor honed by a pro.
Again, thanks to everyone. I REALLY like this Forum, you're all real Gentlemen.
