    Default Red Injun 101

    I have about 6 razors in my regular go-to rotation. I have another half a dozen razors that for some unknown reasons I almost never use. I have a Red Injun 101 that I picked up on ebay some time ago that for some reason falls into this "almost never use" category. I'm not sure why I've neglected the Red Injun, it really is a magnificent razor. I shaved with it this morning and WOW, what a wonderful razor! It was like finding a new razor all over again. I guess I had forgotten how good it was.

    I wonder how many of use have forgotten treasures in our collections?

    Thats why I resist the temptation to just use the usual favorites over and over again. I rotate through all of my razors even though I'm not crazy about a few for various reasons. The only one I will absolutlely not use is a Mercur 2/8 I have. Its really not good for general shaving. Its great for hard to get to spots though.

    The Boker Red Injun 101 has been highly regarded for quite some time. I always have my eye's peeled for one in VG condition.

    I've got a super nice Red Injun. Might be my favorite razor.

    I have a Boker RI 101 as well.
    It's a fine little razor.

    I have several of these. Actually Boker's in general, if in good condition, are wonderful shavers as well as being easy to hone and maintain.

    just acquired one. I'll be honing it and then in a while it'll be up for sale. (After I've tested it thouroughly héhéhé).

    It's only one of a very nice collection of razors that I've bought from someone over here. Most of them will be for sale sometime in the near future. I've had to make quite an investement so that I could get them...so If I don't sell most of them I'll be getting into trouble with the missus....
