Isn't it? And it's so light on the face, it dances with whiskers.

I bought this tree brand razor off eboy a little while back. It was listed as shave ready. I just got to shave with it tonight, and the shave was woderful. Light, delicate and forgiviing... Amazing how the different brands are in their comfort level. I would rank this one among my favs...

I only have one Boker. I realized this is sad after looking at so many lovely blades on this thread.

This is my 7th Boker. She shaves lovely, but I'm going to remove these wooden scales. There's little chance of me finding any original scales so I'm going to make some of my own from antler. An ambitious project for me, but I hope the end result will be worth it.

I don't blame ya. Those scales just don't look right. I'd change 'em too!

I said in post #674 I was going to get rid of the wooden scales on my Boker Tree 5/8 and swap them for antler... here they are. Deer antler with a buffalo horn spacer and brass pins. I've got a tight peen in the pivot and the blade centres perfectly dead centre. I'm pleased with the result.

Very nice! Job well done. I always wondered how deer antler would come out.

Here is my new coated with oil 6/8 silver steel Boker. This really gives a great shave. Love the weight and balance and takes a great edge. Glade I listened to Lynn on one of his videos say what a great razor it is.

Received my membership by acquiring my 1st Boker. Here she is...

That is a beautiful addition! Welcome to the brotherhood.
