Hi all,

None of you know me yet. I just joined the other day. I did introduce myself in the noobie corner though.

Anyway, I acquired what I think was a good deal at $50. I got 2 shaving mugs, 2 shaving brushes, a double sided strop, a hand trimmer, 2 Boker Straight razors one being a Cutter King(2 chips in the blade) and the other a Finest Quality with MOP, and a Fredrick Reynolds 6/8 full hollow ground square point. I suspect the Fredricks and the Boker Finest quality will clean up immaculately. There is a pin point of surface rust on the Boker Finest, but no big deal. See pictures below.

I have a questions about the Boker Finest Quality. Can someone tell me the width they are suppose to be. Is it 5/8" or 6/8" or 11/16"? Right now it measures up as 21/32"(a bit under 11/16"). I'm trying to judge the amount of honing that has been done on it. Thanks in advance.

Oh, also, is anyone familiar with this strop? What kind of leather?
