Have 3, which to start with?

Hello all,
New to B&B but have been wetshaving with DE for few years now. This site is the best, everyone is so helpful.
About to start my journey into shaving with a straight and have acquired three razors from various antique shops for a bargain. Was careful to look for certain aspects/brands based on info learned here. Each of them cleaned up very nicely (now finishing final polish), and I was hoping for advice on which may be best to start out with.
Choices are:
Geneva Cutlery 6/8
Robeson Shuredge 6/8
Boker 5/8

Will be seeking a honemeister soon as well. Any advice greatly appreciated.
 
You've got three good brands right there. I'm sure that when honed up they'll all shave real nice, so my recommendation is going to be to just pick the one you like the look and feel of most.
 
Maybe start with one with a round point first. Then after you're confident in your technique move to ones with spike or Spanish points.
