Thread: Antique Shop visit today...finds?

Being fairly new to wet shaving and my 1917 army issued safety razor, I am daily learning new things. Content for the past few months with my current shaving conditions and super smooth outcomes, I am anxiously exploring straight razors.

Today I visited a nearby antique shop and found a few vintage straight razors.

The first was a Boker and Co., "King Cutter" in really good condition. a bit of patina on the front and back of the blade, perfect scales, sharp as sin, and $20.00. Still imprinted on blade in gold with not much wear.



The second blade was a Frederick Reynolds, Sheffield England. "Extra Hollow Ground" stamped on blade, excellent scales, and a bit of pitting and patina.

The third from Worcester Razor Co., pretty much the same condition.

I have attached a few photos from today shop. I left with only the Boker, King Cutter just for the way it feels in my hand. Plus the price was nice I felt.

So here's my question, what know? Is it worth having the Boker redone? Are the other two blades worth a return trip? I find straight razor amazing to look at and a beautiful art/tradition to learn.

Really excited about all this and looking forward to anyone support and assistance..can't believe I waited 47 years to ENJOY shaving...
