    Default Karbon King

    Needed a project razor and picked this one up locally for the purpose. It seemed in decent enough shape and from a maker I'd not heard of before. They must have known what they were doing in the grinding department to turn out a bellied hollow. Now, if only I can spare some time from renovating a house I'd be off to the races.

    From the uniclectica.com

    King Razor Manufacturing Pittsburg PA moved to Indiana PA in 1911 ca 1904-1919

    Nice one, Bob. Surprises me I haven't come across one, being they were made so close to me. Same for the Novelty cutlery Co., they were no more than a 1/2 hr drive from my house, and the hardest to find in my neck of the woods.

    Cleaned up nice, took a good edge and shaves well. All is well that ends well.
