I like ok forward to seeing the finished product. Kevin did some nice work for me as well.

Congrats on your newly acquired Boker. They are fantastic shavers.

Your friend is an unabashed enabler. I'm appalled. Seriously nice gift there. Hope you get her back soon!

The two latest additions to the collection, one new one old. A new Boker Arbolito and old 9TE5. Both fantastic shavers.

Did you get it back yet Jim?

Wiggles, I am jealous! The Boker Arbolito is on my list of wants. Very nice.

Thanks, yeah its a very nice blade, very light and the grind could arguably be described as extra hollow, at least next to any of the other modern full hollows in the collection. Definitely my favorite modern blade I have.

Just at an antique store at a neighbouring city and picked up this unique Boker. A bit of rust on it which will undoubtedly mean that some of the gold etching will be lost, but the blade itself seems like it's in decent condition otherwise, although the scales are too short for it, so I'm worried the tip may be a bit bent.

I really loved the double thumb notch though and for $20 Canadian I couldn't help myself. Will show some pics over it's cleaned up in a few days. Picked up some other blades, but I'll post those in the appropriate clubs as well later.

Apparently I can't add pics from my phone, so I will leave this here as a bookmark and will add pics when I get home in a few hrs... Sorry for the anticipation caused. <laughs>





But I can add them from my laptop!

I noticed the first two didn't include the strange double thumb notch/groove, so I've added a new one that shows it.
