Thread: First razor and 'hello'

Hello everyone!

I've been interested in straight razor shaving for a while now but i've finally bought my first razor. I stumbled apon a Boker 'King Cutter' today at an antique shop in Montreal. It was 40$ and seemed to be in pretty good shape apart from the discoloration.

So first off...hello! I hope to be able to share my experiences with everyone and I look forward to being a member here.

And now I do have a question which you have probably heard many times...how should I restore this razor? I've emailed a local in the hopes of getting it honed but how could I go about giving it a nice little shine and hopefully keeping whatever is left of the 'King Cutter' logo?

Thanks a lot!
