    Default Another antique find.

    Found these 2 razors on my trip out to get propane for the bbq. Oh ya I also swung by the Antique warehouse too!!!
    The Boker is a king cutter. Its in great shape and I cant wait to get this one done and on my face. Its a lot different then other king cutters ive seen. Im not sure if its an older one??? Big jimps on it.

    The Joseph Rogers I was really excited about but once I looked closer at it I noticed its been in a grinder. Almost as if someone started a regrind and never finished. Its still very bulky. Im sure it will still hone up fine or maybe give me a good challenge. Im going to rescale both, the bokers scales were in ruff shape, broken and quite scratched. The Joseph Rogers was in Bone and they were deteriorating quite a bit, plus a crack. Ive already got to work on them.

    Any info you guys could shed on these 2 would be much appreciated!!

    The King cutter will be an awesome razor. I have 2.
    The Joseph Rodgers is similar to mine but i havent reworked her yet.
    My Rodgers pocket knife though takes a hell of a nice edge.
    YMMV
    Nice finds

    My JR razors are awesome shavers.


    Got a "Stockman's Friend" pocket knife ( made for the Aussie trade I suspect) from the 50's by JR that is a sweetheart too.
