Thread: what is the deference between these str8 razors?

I got my first str8 razor its a boker king cutter and I'm looking to many getting another one soon (some one help me RAD has set in) its a 5/8, hollow ground, carbon steel blade.
form looking at the rest of there stuff most of them look like they use the same blade just making some esthetic changes: printing on the blade, scales, gold inlay and, some decorative carvings. I know that they do offer some in stainless and in sizes from 4/8 - 6/8 but to me they all look like the some thing in a deferent color. I see the same thing in the dovo line.

Unless you particularly want a new razor have a look at the classifieds here, or shave of the day thread for some ideas . There are many options.
All of my razors are vintage, some well over 150 years old and they shave fine.
