basically need to kjnow if these razors are good condition and priced boker king cutter and genco fluid steel

We don't do appraisals on SRP because they are a matter of individual opinion. That said, if you paid that for those razors, from what I see in a brief look, that is a good deal. Just IMHO.

im not asking for an appraisal i'm just asking if its restoraable usable or just plain old joe smoe razor and how do i determine what year king cutter this one is? not sure if its new or vintage even though it says it is vintage what year or how do i know?

Seem good to me. I think both sold for appropriate prices. Did you win both? I'm assuming your best offer of $60 was accepted for the Boker?

Fair prices and very good razors.

The razors are restorable, the Bocker is vintage, they do not make them with bakelite scales anymore.

Looks like you did okay,
although it did seem like you were asking for an appraisal in ur original post =P "$27.50 is that too much ?"
If you're going to have a go at restoring them yourself I would start on the Genco first.
since you paid less for it and they seem to be fairly common, I picked up one pretty cheap for myself and honed it myself too and it's giving me great shaves. although mine was in pretty much new condition so I didn't have to do much other than the honing hehe. I bought a boker as well but I paid more for it so I haven't gotten round to it yet as if I wreck that one I'll be pretty angry at myself.

Just my 2 cents anyway.
may the RAD be with you =]

I have a Genco and it is the best shaver I have.
