I’ve never given any thought to more than a good edge and a smooth shave and of course I’ve pulled more than a couple whiskers out of my face with borrowed sub-prime lenders.
Folks seem to think these are nice’ classic razors, but I don’t know enough about razors per se and these heirlooms in particular to understand how putting them back in service will affect their useful life, and ultimately, the shape they would be in when they in turn are ‘handed down’.
So, couple questions:
First: I’m wondering if I ought to just ’service’ these and put them [back] up in a place of honor to be preserved and passed on.
Second: Beyond ‘philosophy’ I’d sincerely appreciate practitioners recommendations for an ‘end to end’ Kit. I’m not so concerned with budget but with best of breed practicality price/performance to get going.
This could be fun..Thanks..d
