I just bought this today from a local antique shop. It's my first straight and I just successfully tried it on my cheeks and neck! I'll be sending it someone on SRP to be honed.

Great razors guys, I'm going for a nap so I can at least dream that I own one :)
Hi guys.
Just want to give you the heads up. I saw this today on my favorite knife dealer website:

King Cutter Straight Razor - New Graham Knives
That's my Böker collection. They all don't look like new, but they are outstnading shavers. Most of them were easy to hone and took a fine edge.
Let's start with a tiny "1111"

Not my sharpest razor, but shaves quite well, although it has it's problems with the HHT
Two vintage Edelweiss

Unfortunately I had to polish out the etching in order to remove the massive corrosion on both blades. The second one, I have rescaled with black horn scales, taken from another razor.
Probably my best two razors. Sharp and smooth as hell. Shaving with these feels like wiping off the stubble with a silk cloth.
