Hi y'all,
so, I'm getting ready to start straight-shaving, and I just picked up a pair of straight razors at the local antique shop; they're not exactly what I was hoping for, but at $15 for both together, I decided I'd give them a shot.
Anyway, both razors appear to be in a decent shape as far as my inexperienced eye can tell, but they could certainly use some cleanup and honing. Unfortunately, I just don't feel comfortable enough doing that by myself yet, so I was wondering if anyone could suggest a company or a forum member here I could contact for assistance in getting this done?
For reference, according to markings on razors & boxes:
Razor #1, which appears to be the better one to me:
"Starlight" made by "C. A. Johnson, New Haven, CT - Made in Germany"
Razor #2
made by Johnson & Co, Sheffield, England (Blade tang also has a Hammer & 7 stars mark).
I'll do my best to post the photos as soon as I can.
