The Boker has me pretty jealous, congratulations on a great score!!

That should hone up great

Excellent haul and welcome to SRP! All of those razors are perfect, but that Boker... Better let me keep an eye on it for you...

If I had luck like that I'd buy more lottery tickets.
You have two of the best there in the Genco & the Boker.
No make on the Sheffiled ?

What great luck! There is no better shaver than a properly honed Boker, and that Genco looks excellent too. Congratulations and you have my sincere envy.

Kyle, as the other guys said, you done good.

You might want to think about sending them off to someone around here that does restoration work. Personally, I'd recommend GSSixGun (Glen). His work is top notch. There are other really good restorers here, too.

From the pics you posted, those razors look to be in decent shape and should clean up really well. They are nice enough blades that I wouldn't recommend trying to clean them up yourself if you've never done that kinda thing before.

Nice score.

Lovely finds. The Böker's a beauty but the other two look good too. +1 on sending one of them out. It'll give you an idea what you're aiming for on the other two. Whatever you choose, good luck and welcome.

All the razors have been sent off to a forum member for honing, now I need to get on tracking down a strop...

That King Cutter looks worthless to me. Trade you a Fromm for it
