Inherited Grandfathers Keen Kutter, cousins are going to be shaved with it.
Hello to all!
My father recently passed away and one of the things he passed down was his fathers Keen Kutter straight edge razor.
The razor still has the blue cloth wrapped box it came in. The cap end of the box says "Simmons Hdwe. Co." U. S. A.
The longer end of the box says, "Keen Kutter" with "Germany" printed just below where the two section slide together.
The razor itself is a hollow ground style with "Simmons Hdwe. Co" "U.S.A." embossed on one side and "Germany 1150 w" embossed on the other.
The handle is black bakerlite material and has been cracked on one side near the riveted end.
I am going to take the razor to a shop in Oklahoma City to have it properly sharpened.
Once that is done I have located a barber that is willing to shave with it.
Several of my cousins are going to join me at the barbershop and be shaved with the razor our Grandfather used. Most of us have memories of him.
Is there any thing I should be aware of in this endeavour?
Best wishes to all,
