Just picked up four old irons at my local Goodwill -- three MacGregor MT's (6-7- and a Golden Ram Tour Grind 3-iron. Total price...$1 each.
The grips on the MT's were tough to get off -- more crumble than cut -- but the 3 iron's grip was pretty decent.
I'm looking forward to hitting them to see what that old blade feedback feels like. I also was thinking about taking one and grinding my own Tour Striker.
I guess it was only a matter of time...I use vintage fountain pens and shave with an old double edge Gillette!

You will love the MT's. I have a set from the mid '70's or so and they are great!
I shave with a mug and a brush.
Mug and brush, too. Taylor of Old Bond Street or Proraso shave cream or maybe one of the handcrafted soaps.
I purchase the soap from a woman who does soaps, lotions and lip balms in her garage and basement. I suspect there may be a bit of eye of newt, clipped hair of toad, and other secret ingredients, but it sure does the job. I can always tell where each one is made. The one I currently have has the feint smell of automobile oil. The one in the cupboard seems to have a hint of coal.
