Thread: Hey

Hey folks,

been lurking for a while and i just recently finished my first restore and wanted to eventually post up some snaps so thought i would register and say hello

got a "boker" ages ago and let it rust a little before i got interested. always shaved with a brush and "mugs" soap which could be had for a dollar, and a one blade disposable for ages (could never stomach so much money for so much BS).

Now im long since hooked, got 2 "bokers" and a "john c crooks". as well i have also made myself two hanging leather strops and am looking at my second restore project for new scales on a king cutter.

thanks for the tips and info looks like a cool site im stoked to get in on.
a quick snap of my travel kit

Congrats and Welcome!!

No more lurking!!

Looks like your ready for a new brush!! Just kidding. I think that is the first first post I've seen with a "restor' in it. Way cool.

Welcome to SRP. Nice looking Boker.

thanks guys, that is in fact my "john c crooks" from sheffield. was had for a paltry $20 from the antique shop.

i find i even prefer it over the bokers.

nice looking straight...good luck and welcome
