Hi, This is probably my first post ever on SRP. I've only been shaving for about a year. I recently went by an old barbershop and asked the barber if he was willing to sell any old straight razors. I was to get my hands on a old DOVO blade for 20$. The blade edge looks fine no nicks or anything. My question is how to make it ready for a shave.

I see alot of post regarding full restorations on old blades but for a newb like me I just want to know some basic steps to "clean" it up for it to shave. I only got the blade 30min ago so i dont have pics. Will post if needed. Sorry if this is a no-brainer question :P
