    Looks absolutely fantastic, Glen! I am now in search mode for a similar 6/8 Boker, but it is going to be hard to find.

    They sure are Croaker seemed like when I wasn't hunting one I found tons, then as soon as I punched Boker into the e-bay search engine it was NADA. or tore up junk... When I saw the blade on that one was nice and the scales were shot I went for it...

    Shaved it just this morning BTW just like you would expect "Smooth as Silk"

    I tell ya though if you see one of the 95 TE's out there pick it up, pretty impressive blade, if you like Extra Full Hollows that thing is super fine grind...

    Beautiful work, Glen. On both razors.

    You and I are in agreement on disclosure in regard to the level of cleaning or restoration for vintage blades. While I don't think the collectible value of that Boker is zero by any means, de-pinning/re-pinning does IMO diminish the collectible value. I wish well known Ebay sellers that seem to command very high prices for their restored razors disclosed restorations to such a level. Thank you for that.
