Hope i qualified.

100fuegos, welcome to SRP! That is a beautiful Boker. Congrats on a great find. That is the first I've seen of that size.
I'd like to join, and here's my entry application:

It's one of the new Boker Edelweisses, and it's my first straight razor. I'm enjoying it so much, and I can see the need to have a second razor around, that I'm thinking of getting a King Cutter as well--especially if I plan to start honing sometime next year (just don't tell my wife).
Do we have t-shirts? A logo? A secret handshake?
Here is my addition to the Brotherhood . It was Nos when i bought it , but it had small chip on the toe. Its freshly honed by Liam from Waldorf barbers in Dublin.
I love the weight of the blade

At last. Now i now how to insert an image.
Eh guys im new to the straight Razor world. So new i havent even attempted that first shave. But since i got interested in the idea if a straight razor shave and not buying anymore of those mach whatevers i have collected 4 H.Boker razors. Just waiting for the razors to come back from getting pro honed. Also for my Strop.
So this is the Razor i picked up today for $10
So...quite unexpectedly, my father passed this Boker Kink Cutter on to me this past weekend. I've always thought about using a straight razor, so this might be the time.
He received this from a good friend decades ago, and has carted it around from home to home. It's never been used. I have no clue what i have here, but I do intend to use it....at least once.
While you can't see in the photo...teh case has 0246 SP at one end. Is this a serial number?

That looks amazing. I am also surprised how close that looks to the current model.
