I've got my Grandfathers' old razors and honing stones from HIS father. He taught me how to hone them when I was 12 years old. The first razor of my very own was an older Robert Klaas. I honed it all on my own, and shaved with it for several years. It was left in a drawer when I went off to college and was packed up for storage for several years thereafter.
When I opened it up after many years, I poured out a pile of rust. The celluloid scales had decomposed and corroded the blade away to the tang and spine. It was an absolute heartbreaker.
