VINTAGE SIMMONS KEEN KUTTER TORTISE HANDLE. RAZOR - eBay (item 230508126652 end time Aug-15-10 13:12:30 PDT)
I don't know...there's something about the pics that make me wonder if it's the photography or the razors. The first looks like it's got a frown and the second looks like it's got a ton of rust on the edge. If they arrive clean, do us a solid and take some better pics and post them up. If they show up in great condition, then I'd say that you got some nice razors...:)
red96ta.....will get er done.....thanx......
I'd be keen to see different pics too.Quote:

So, I'd guess that they're actually in better condition than they appear. (although, I suppose, an unscrupulous seller could use this to their advantage)

The Keen Kutter does look to have a very small amount of rust on the edge that should clean up nicely. The Koch may have slightly uneven honewear, but nothing that cannot be easily corrected. Both look like they can hone up to be nice shavers.
