Thread: Antique Shop visit today...finds?

Just thought I'd through out a huge shout out to Glen for all his hard work on restoring my Boker "King Cutter" into a very nice and workable blade. Thanks!!!

Here are two photos of what it looked like before. Above are what Glen has already posted for the completion.
First shave was stellar, could asked for more. Being super new at all this after months of safety razor shaves, before shave prep was already down pat. From prep with the oil, hot towels, nice foamy cream, I was set.

My razor performed like a champ. Smooth cut, BBS shave, and the had to happen, small nick. No pain , no gain. Actually never felt a thing. Learning from safety shave skills NOT to use heavy pressure to shave helped dramatically with the angle and pressure of my blade. Looks like my first go around went well, shaky hands n all. Being right handed made shaving my left side a breeze. However, switching to shaving the right side a bit awkward and challenging. Thus the lil right sided cut.

Next step is to learn stropping. Quite a bit of work in straight razor shaving in comparison to safety shaves. Not many more steps, but honing, stroping, etc. all so new.

I have three more blades for Glen that I since went back and purchased. At the top you'll see my two other blades which I picked up for a song. An additional one will find it's way to Glens door as well. Appreciate all the feedback about offering a bundle price on the F.R and Worcester, worked out well.
