Hi,
Very new guy to straight razor shaving but having fun with it.
I was toying with the idea for quite a while then while buying a new strop for my edc blades I went down the rabbit hole. I read all I could online about first razors plus tips and tricks. I ended up ordering a Böker Manufaktur Solingen | 5/8" King Cutter which is due in soon.
Meanwhile, when speaking to a friend about it he told me he had a few razors at home he picked up in estate sales.
I looked at them and after sending pictures in to Razor emporium to ask which one would be good to go with. They recommended a few from the list so I picked the below one.
I was going to send it in to have it honed so I start off right.
I figured before I send it out Id play with it a bit. I do know how to strop so I went to work and spent some time on it. I shaved with it with pretty good success. Although I only did the side of my face because, again, I'm really new so slow goes.
Doing a google search based off the bow etching it comes back to a wade and butcher original bow. But that's where it stops.
I posted a picture below. I am looking to see if I could get any info on it.
What would it be on the tier level as far as razors go?
Any approx age?
Im not looking to sell it regardless of the age or value I just want to know what I have.
Thanks In Advance
Dave
