    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.

    That is a very beautiful razor! I love the spine worked blade. Did you shine up the blade your self? I have a Boker razor with a blade just like that. I want to get several different grits of wet or dry sandpaper to shine some blades up the same way as yours. I really love the way your's looks, that shine in it is out of this world. My congrats to you for such a beautiful razor!!!!
