At least it seems like it. Got this yesterday but the scales were not original nor in good shape so I re scaled it after a quick polish. Honed nicely and shaves well but the scales may want to make you poke your eyes out.

It looks way better than some I've seen. I could live with that! I have a couple King Cutter's I haven't done anything with yet.
Thanks, I am sure you will enjoy those King Cutters when you get around to them. Vintage Bokers have been consistently good shavers for me.Quote:

Nice job, so you already had a taste of the Bokers. I take it that yours shaves well too.Quote:

I don't hate those scales Bob. They're kinda neat. The blade looks like it's in great shape. You ever get that one from kijiji into scales?
The one I got from kijji did not need scales http://straightrazorpalace.com/show-...ng-cutter.html and thanks for the tip. Surprisingly this one came from the same person in another kijji ad.Quote:

They sure did sell a load of these things in Canada and as you say they are very common. They are good shavers and if cheap enough I buy them for honing practice. That is my story and I'm sticking to it.
