Thread: Small razor lovers- The Mab 4/8

ATTENTION SMALL RAZOR LOVERS!
Manufactured from 1897 to 1910 by Hugo Koller. Back of blade almost straight with French point and no shoulder. Blade measures approximately 2¼ x 4/8. On shank “- THE - MAB -.”. On other side on tip tang is Boker Tree Logo. Don't know the connection between Koller and the Boker Tree Logo. Blade cleaned, polished and honed shave ready. Jimp’s bottom of shank. Black celluloid scales cleaned and polished. Original pins.

Light coat of oil for protection on blade. Please look at photos as they are best description.

Honing: One layer of electrical tape on spine. Bevel set on 600 grit diamond hone. Then 6000 water stone and finished on 12,000 oil stone, then glass plate. Then stropped on canvas with diamond paste and then leather and disinfected. A $18.00 VALUE FREE

I personally test shave each razor before final disinfection. Shave ready is different to each person. Factors like light or coarse beard or beard length come into play. I have a heavy beard and test shave every razor on a two day growth. If razor gives a close comfortable shave I call it shave ready. If it does not shave right I re hone the razor.

Payment due in three days.

DANGIT!!!!

Is that a Boker tree I see?

Yes it is. According to my research THE MAB was made by Hugo Koller but it has the Boker tree on the tip of the tang. I mentioned it in the description and don't know the connection between the two.
