    The before photos really draw the distinction. I bet it looks better after the Max treatment than when it left the factory many years ago.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    LOVE it! Really, really classy, and that wedge just adds that little bit of "pop" to set it apart. Awesome!

    Excellente. The orange wedge does set it off.

    Glad to see one of our own won it, and had Mad Max give it the full treatment.

    Turned out looking spectacular as usual for Max's work.

    That makes perfect sense.

    Boker is or was a huge brand in Latin America under the name "Arbolito" which means "little tree" in Spanish.
    Since the Spanish and the South American countries all liked and used other "14" models from other great brands (Filarmonica, Palmera and others), Boker made a model similar to those.

    Here are before pics of this Boker #14 I picked up from the fleabag. It looked okay in pics, but needed some love... And the price was right.

    I really wanted ram's horn, but no luck. So I requested regular horn instead and left the wedge up to Max... What I will get back (they're on their way) blew my mind. It's beautiful!... imho...

    That is what a razor should look like. Fantastic.
