Couple more antique store pick-ups... Vintage Boker and W&B
Found a vintage Boker King Cutter Pike Point and this very large W&B. I'm not sure what the W&B is, but it is big and bad. There are no etchings on the blade at all, if anyone has some thoughts let me know. I have seen similar W&Bs on e-bay going for around 40+ dollars, I picked up both these blades for under that
King Cutter:
W&B:
There is a Boker Red Ingen blade at the shop I visited tonight along with an interesting F.W. Engels... any comments on the blades I picked up or the other two I just mentioned would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Josh

Great find, those Boker's shave extremely well. Easy to restore.

Nice finds
Both of these razors show some hone wear, but nothing excessive, and the wear is consistent with their age. Well worth some time and effort, very nice buys.
Don't get hung up on hanging hairs.

both of those razors are great buys
i dont know where you guys are, on several occasions ive went out looking for razors/accesories, and not only did i not find anything remotely decent, (rusty grinded down fringe brand razors for 50+)but i also ran into several other people out looking for them too.
i had one old flea market guy that kept tellin me he was going to bring some in, but i think it was just a rouse to get me to keep visiting.

Thanked: 198nice score, i purchased a wade&butcher very much like the one you have for around 20 bucks at a local antique shop one day, have my eye on a ERN now for about 28 bucks. cant wait till i have the chance to go to an aquaintence of mine's antique shop and see what he has lying around for sale, might actually be able to score some great deals from him
