George W. Korn razor

After searching the threads and posts I came up nil.

Came someone extol the virtues of the George W. Korn Co. Razors?

Are there any?

I had 2 blades made by Geo Korn, and they are great shavers

I had a 4/8 full hollow ground blade and the other was a 6/8 spike point blade which I still have and use in my rotation.

If you have a chance to get one of these blade do so.

Thanks for twisting my arm. Looks in great condition one little nick, and the scales look awsome.

I buy from her almost exclusively. She is great and ships fast. Prices are fair and she knows her stuff.

Congrats! I was looking at it, too. When I saw you asking about the Korn, I finally decided to order her Paul Kohl's Fisher before someone else would snatch it! :D

Here's the Fisher:

My Korn has been harvested, er... arrived.

No real condition issues. Has that one chip and a couple of small small ity bitty nicks in the edge near the heel. No smile or other anomaly.

The pins are ok not real tight. There is some rust on the hinge but the pins are so pretty I do not want to remove it.

The blade is centered. The scales just need some polish.

I think I'll start with 2500 grit cause there is mostly just surface grit.

So the cleaning method.

Infant toothbrush
Toothpaste
Warm water

Adult Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Warm water

Scrubbing bubbles
Cold water

See where we are. Then onto the 2500 grit.

BTW, Sparq did you get yours?

I am sure your Korn will clean up nice. I'll tell you about my Fisher when I get home. :)

I got it today. :y
It has great potential. The blade is very thin / very hollow ground, it might be in the same league as my Hans. It came very sharp, I am sure I could shave with it right away!

I have two Korns - one that I used to practice my honing and another awaiting restoration. The one that I sharpened took an edge very well. It gives a good shave, however I find the 4/8 extra hollow is a little narrow and thin for my taste right now.
