Thread: Bud K

I reeived a Bud K straight razor as a gift. I have not seen it mentioned anywhere. Is it a "real" staight razor that I should try to hone or should it be listed along with others on the list of "Straight Razors to Avoid" in the Wiki?
(Brands of Straight Razors to avoid - Straight Razor Place Wiki)

no idea, could you perhaps take a picture or two?

if you are referring to budk.com it appears they sell quite a range of straights from rebranded Dovo's which is obviously a good razor to a Tomahawk straight for $10 which about says it all , perhaps see what you can match up your razor to if it is on there site or pictured as a Dovo somewhere hopefully the latter

I'll work on the pictures. Thanks guys.

My cheapo camera does not take good close ups. I contacted Bud K and the response from them was that this item is a a "replica" of a razor (cheap weapon?) and not meant for shaving.
