Shoulderless Boker Restore - slightly modified

I saw Gary's thread on this same razor a few weeks ago and it inspired me to restore mine. It is a 5/8 Shoulderless Boker with a jimped thumbnotch. Faux Ivory scales with Silver inlay, nickel-silver pins, stainless washers, and a turquoise wedge. I know its not completely 'original' now but it was calling for me to sand off the faux wedge and put in the turquoise. I think it is a perfect match.

Awesome!

Beautiful blade, love that shape! Beautiful scales with inlay. Just the touch of torquoise really puts the shine on!

I think you can all guess how this one ended up shaving. :D

I'm sure it gave you a fantastic shave.

I really like the look of that razor, being shoulderless gives it a really sleek design. I look beautiful, great job, and I love the scales. Very sophisticated razor. :tu

Really looks like you did a great job!

...and for no apparent reason other than I want to use it: :soapbox:

I wonder, does the shoulderless design impart anything to the flexibility or stiffness of the blade? Was the design aesthetic or functional?

That is one hot, sleek blade! I cannot imagine it shaving anything less than fabulous. Very nice work!
