    You should be my friend! If you had good results, just think of how a 4-5 bladed cartridge type would have felt? They usually itch & burn after shaving!
    There is just no comparison to the shave a straight razor will give you when honed & stropped correctly!

    My Böker offering.

    After restoring I just got the 387 back today from its first honing.

    Had a great shave today with it. It's like a tank compared to the lighter TE.

    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.
    Don't drink and shave!

    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.
