I am fairly new to straight razors in the means of collecting and have brought together some 20-30 W&B... what I collect.
I am ready to start restoring the razors and craft new scales... but as I was looking everything over, I thought of the tv show Pawn Stars.
With old guns and knives, collectors are looking for the petina that has built up on the gun over the years (per the show).
I dont think that I'll be reselling these razors anytime soon, but I am sure when I am gone and dead my kids will want to get rid of them.
So where is the money? Do I leave them as is... or do I learn to restore and build scales?
