Thread: New to straight razors.

My name is justin. I was wondering what I have and what it would take to be useable again. Background info on the razor. My wife's mother is cleaning out her house to move along with the gun safe. I received this little black box that reads, Frederick Reynolds providence works 60 Gell st Sheffield. I open it and it's a straight razor. It has a clear handle (yellow tent) with brown marks. I will attempt to post some pictures. I've always wanted to use a straight razor but have not had the extra money. But anyhow, any and all info will help. It looks to be in decent shape. I would like to get it back to a mirror finish. The pins seem to be made of cooper. Thanks for taking the time to read.
