Worth trying these old razors?
Hi all,
My uncle just gave me 6 old straight razors that were owned by my late Grandfather - I'm interested in trying a straight razor, but from the looks of them, they are not in great condition... but then again, I dont really know.
Below are the pics, with a short description of any brands, etc
Happy to restore one of them if its known as an excellent razor (and its not the broken one). There are various degrees of corrosion on the blades of all of them.
Let me know if more detail is required
Thanks all
-G
