Hello again,

No, not as far North as Kenora (Thankfully), but it seems just as far.
Petawawa. Its about 2 hours from Ottawa. Neighboring Pembroke.

Just opened my mail to find my first; I'll be sending it off to get honed and "shave-ready"

Did I score?

Hi Ian,
Very hard to say without having it in hand, but I will say two things...

1) It looks like it has a bit of a frown near the heel (just to the right of the 'r' in 'Cutter') and some uneven hone wear. It could be a trick of the light, but just so you know if the person to whom you sent it says it needs a bit of work beyond simple honing, you're not being had. If that is a frown, then some steel will have to be removed to even up the edge, and that = extra work which should = extra $. However, it should be worth it because...

2) Bokers are fine blades! I have a King Cutter that is one of my favourite hollow-ground razors (I happen to like big old wedge-y blades, but that's just me). Once you get this one honed and ready to go, you should get many years of excellent service from it.

Best of luck with it!
