H Boker & Co. Razor I picked up
Hello all, I'm new here and this is my first straight razor. I tried to look it up, but all I found was general history of the company. There is no distinguishing features about this razor that I can list so I just took some photos. Does anyone think they could (possibly) date this blade? It feels like the handle is made from plastic and there is a white piece in between the black part of the handles at the very lowest part of the handle, away from the blade. I picked it up cheap at a antique sale for around $30. The woman took off some for the chip and that I bought a few other things from her. I believe it came out to be somewhere around $25 (26.40 or something along those lines). Anyway, my second question is does anyone think that this blade is worth restoring? The chip at the tip seems substantial to me and the blade needs a good cleaning and sanitizing. But if I can't use it for shaving I'm just going to leave as is and use as a display piece in the bathroom and then buy a nice shiny new straight razor. ANY help or advice would be really appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.
