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.

You'd be surprised how little they can cost if you shop flea markets, estate sales and antique shops.

Hi guys.
Just want to give you the heads up. I saw this today on my favorite knife dealer website:

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.
King Cutter 6/8"
King Cutter 5/8"

Hey! I just realized that this Edelweiss is my ticket to the Brotherhood!
This puppy has a wicked edge, and is death to stubble.
