    What purpose does the magnetized steel serve besides making post-honing clean-up a pain? haha

    I thought it was to use the back of the spine to pull the tailings out of your hone so you had to lap it less.

    Newest addition to my boker collection. Bought off eBay with the mistake of not reading the description detailing the dent present in the edge. Luckily with a little clean up and a LOT of honing the bevel formed evenly. Interestingly enough the other bit I missed was that this razor comes to us from japan. Anyone know about it's authenticity?

    Shave test tomorrow, fingers crossed.

    Nice looking razor. Don't think I have seen a Boker made in Japan before.

    Found this oldie the other day. It has some stampings/marking I have not seen on a Boker. Once I got rid of the chips in the blade she honed up nicely and shaves like Bokers are known for.
