Finally Finished
Finally finished this one. It is one of the first razors I got when I started wet shaving and has been in my rotation since. When I got it I think it was rescaled and took me forever to find an original set of scales. I was afraid to rescale it cause it was honed and shave ready, but finally worked up the nerve to do it. It is a Boker 1101. I never understood why the etch said extra hollow ground when the 1101 had a "special" hollow grind. Guess it wasn't cost effective to make a different etch. The "special" grind is just a 1/4 hollow. It is one of my favorite razors and I am happy it has finally got its original scales back. I am a sucker for shoulderless razors.

Great job on a classic Boker. One of my favorite profiles as well.

I can only echo what has been said. Correct and clean!
