    That's a Boker box; is it a Boker razor? What's the width of the blade? It's nice.

    It didn't come out in the photo but it's a w&b 8/8 extra hollow.I'm not sure if I have it honed properly but it shaves pretty ok considering how big it is.I say ok because I'm not familiar with using a razor this size so I'll have to get a few shaves under my belt...uhh I mean chin to determine if the sharpness is up to snuff.Does anyone else have trouble with your face disappearing in the mirror when doing the cross cheek?

    My dear Spanx,

    That is an excellent example of restoration. Well done, sir. The razor is quite impressive, which makes your effort in restoring it worth even more.

    Regards,

    Obie

    Your first shave with a Wade & Butcher like that should leave you saying "Wow,so that's what all the fuss is about."
