Welcome to the forum, JumboJohnny.

You're starting in style, despite their appearances. Don't worry about the lost W&B, that Taylor "Eye Witness" may be a great shaver. My own Taylor (an "Imperial Service" 11/16th curved beauty) is an awesome shaver. The Silver Steel looks like it may need major edge restoration to remove the frown. Probably not a good first honing project.

Cool gifts, have you used a non-pivoting safety razor before? Also, before you start removing those chips on the edges and revealing "fresh" steel have you investigated the advantages of taping the spine during intense metal removal?
