    That Redcane is a super guy!!!

    My experience with the 6 I've had was that they all shave superbly!! Vintage Bokers are excellent shavers, no doubt.

    Revisor. You'll probably end up with change too.

    Get a Ralf Aust instead. Trust me, it is exactly the same quality. And the scales on the Arbolito are €3 rubbish, anyway.

    I'm taking Kyle up on his offer! Thanks for your generosity Kyle and as suggested I look forward to paying it forward!

    This is so cool!

    What do you guys think? Trying to keep it under 200
    You can't go wrong with anything Glen has! He always has some very nice things or makes things that look bad into very nice ones! It just depends on your budget! Frederick are nice shavers. This is one I showed off the other day to another member..............

    I got this one off eBay. The seller had it up for I think $299 but it came in an old strop box also from an old estate! It didn't sell, so he put it up for auction & I lucked out with it for around $93.

    Here's a Boker Arbolito 5/8" on Amazon for $213.17 w/free shipping but only one left.

    I wish I was a member here a couple weeks ago when I first started looking for a straight; I would have shared what I found. I found a non-shaving place called Optics Planet who was selling Arbolitos for less than $170, plus they had a 2 day sale for 10% off and free shipping. They are now going for $204, but they do have killer deals on a couple others. I got my Arbolito for $152.99 shipped. It had the factory edge which I worked on a bit and got good shaves with, but I'm going to send it in to wolfpack to have it honed properly.

    The exact same thing happened to me when I ordered my Arbolito, apparently they're a hot item and don't stay in stock for long. I just toughed out the wait, and it was worth it, as the Arbolito is a beautiful piece.
