Thread: Noob: First Razor Purchase from eBay

The Boker line of razors are very good! And you stole it!
Very nice, now have someone hone it for you before you use it.
After sitting arond for a number of years the edge degrades significantly and needs attention.

I'll second the vote for the Crabtree & Evelyn brush. In my rotation, I use several Shavemac brushes, all costing $100 plus, and the C&E brush is still one of my top brushes. It's made by Edwin Jagger, and is first class all the way! Once you are gainfully employeed, you can pick up a few Shavemac brushes!

Thank you gentlemen. I may even have a few bucks coming my way that could be set aside for that. It would have been easier if I wasn't getting paid for my current job over a month after finishing it. My first paycheque for the job I'm starting in May will come sooner.

The $35 C&E Brush is def. one of my favorites. Everybody should own one. It isn't too expensive and it does a great job.

I'm with Bill. Bokers are top-notch razors. Fortunately for us, they haven't hit "cult status" like the razors that start with "d" have.

It will cost less to get someone to hone it for you than to buy a desposible. You also will have a fine sharp razor to work with.

I just found this auction which looks like an identical razor... I guess I should be fairly content with the price I got. I'll post better pics when it arrives.
