Thread: Excellent H. Boker flea market find

For three dollars, sitting all alone in it's box I had to give it a good home.







Which started as this.

And has become that so far:

With that rusty edge I would have passed to be honest. But looks to once have been a fine razor.

would try to set a bevel before you go any further.

I speak from experience on this one....

Never planned to shave with it. Just thought with a bit of elbow grease it'd make a decent display piece.

Don't give up that fast

have you got a 220 norton or similar? would make fast work of bringing up clean metal and you can see how deep that pitting runs. tape that spine in this case though if your going to try it as the 220 would make short work of the engraving etc as well
