What's new

looking for some insight on straight

Picked this up on ebay for $15 and cant fund much about it other then maybe the same maker of Bowdins Wedge? The shank reads Bowdins Art 300A, on the back Minneapolis Minn. Germany and am the handle J.E. Bowdin Minneapolis Minn. Is this a good razor and is it worth what I paid. It looked bad when I got it but a few minutes with some polish she came back to life. Thanks for your help. My first straight by the way.
What I started with.

It's a very nice looking razor. You probably won't find alot of info on JE Bowdin as they would be the reseller of the razor. It's one of the many unbranded blades to come out of Germany. It looks in really good condition.

+1, that straight look all right. A session with a honemeister and it should be good to go!
