Thread: More restos Boker and Pradat Brun Frame Back

just got them in the mail today cant wait



and the Boker now



cant wait I could clean the Boker up more but a little pitting looks good on a razor older than the person using it.

will follow up on the Frame Back most likely tomorrow but cool thing is it says
"England Barber" on the blade.


cheers

Matt

Boker looks great,may be a challange to hone tho,what are the scales? jigged horn.

Not sure what the scales are not Bakelite or celluloid wood? Horn? But they did soak up some neetsfoot so I would assume they are something natural. Just with sanding from 220 to 2k the Boker is cutting arm hair but still far from shave ready.

Ok fingers are cut up and raw but having fun

Frame Back now





need a break hopefully thursday I can finish blade and scales

couldn't leave well enough alone kept on both of them an extra day

pics just don't do them justice

They look great!!

Am I missing something? Why would the Boker be a challenge to hone?

Looks to have a frown on the heel half of the blade,

also I cannot tell for sure but it looks as if the spine may have a slight warp.

You are not wrong, that part of the edge has a small frown but it will come out when I get around to setting the bevel. Best way is black marker on the edge and spine to see how she runs across the stones. I believe that who ever used her didn't know how to hone well.
