I just had some fantastic luck - Boker and Heljestrand
Im feeling very pleased with myself as I just came across a little hoard that totally eclipses my current modest collection of razors.
Firstly 4 boxed never used Heljestrands. Small at 4/8 but very fine. I gave one a few passes on a mini Thuri last night and it gave me a really fantastic shave.
Secondly, a razor that I've loved the look of since I started developing this hobby / obsession, a Boker King Cutter, but not just one, six! It was a 7 day set but the 7th was missing. They are all in top condition with hardly any hone wear. I've bought one to shave ready and it was easy and shaved beautifully. In it's place was an old Kropp. A bit rusty but serviceable. I would have been pleased with the Kropp but the others have really spoiled me.

Nice find man!
If you don't understand my thought process, please read my mind and It will all make perfect sense and should be enlightening for the both of us.

I've now put good edges on 2 razors and both work really well.
