so a couple of days ago I mentioned in another thread that I called my grandma and asked about my grandpa's razors. She said she still had them and was planning on throwing them away. I asked her to save them and I would take them and actually use them. Well here they are. I know nothing about vintage razors and am hoping for as much info as possible from the great people on this forum.
My grandfather was my hero he passed on in 2002 and I am so excited I get to use his razors. Grandma said that she believes one was issued by the US Navy. My grandfather was captain of a ship in the Korean war... maybe one of these was there after you all provide some info maybe we can determine if one of them were over there.
Now to the razors just an FYI they each had a razor in them.. Schick... both disposed of properly. Grandpa went blind in the 80s so these have not been used in a long time. The first looks the best and has a date code of O1

The second razor is a little beat up and has a date code of F3
Pictures on next post so to finish my questions:
1. Can they be cleaned?
2. If so how?
3. Would it be better to send them somewhere and get them professionally done?
These mean a LOT to me and I want to treat these with the respect they deserve.
