Hey all,
I was gifted these two razors (see pics below) from my mother-in-law by Thomas Turner from Sheffield. These razors were used in her fathers barber shop in Victoria for about 30 years, from mid 50's to 80's so they are sort of a family heirloom. They are quite dull and dirty and I suppose I'd need to send them somewhere to get honed. The case is pretty much destroyed and is in two separate pieces. The accompanying strops seem to be warped and definitely look like they've seen better days.
So what sort of investment would I need to make to get these in shave-ready condition? Strops, hones etc? Any comments/suggestions welcome.
thanks in advance,
John
