    Default Been raining King Cutters

    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.

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

    I've been a little lazy. I'm going to hone it probably today but my guess is it should be a real nice shaver. Thanks!

    The razor I've had the most of, and seen at antique stores are king cutters. I've passed on many, over priced, over honed or just leaving it for the next guy. I have 5 right now, and have sold 3 in the past.

    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.

    Yea, the scales are different alright but I am usually of a more conservative nature , not the Steven Harper kind either.

    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.
