Thread: Need some serious help on figuring this guy out.

Thanks for the read. If I understand correctly, what you're saying is despite the Boker scales being on this T.Hessenbruch & Co. razor, it is historically accurate?

Cant be accurate since the scales are from a different company.

Gotcha, I misunderstood. Thanks for clearing that up, it was bugging me all night!

If the scales work for you keep them, perhaps a member here have a set of originals scales that you could switch. Personally i would keep the scales for now and make that razor shave ready see if you like the shave and go from there JMHO.

The scales have a few knicks but aren't in terrible condition, but the inside walls need a little work. I have seen a few threads on cell rot and was curious if I should wrap the boker scales in plastic and store them away from my razors. I'll definitely try my hand at restoring the razor and getting some new scales fashioned.

I have seen the bear stamp with the "Will bear inspection" but I haven't seen the "our best bear" that this razor has. Is that uncommon?

Im not sure whether its common or not, but it would be pretty neat to find a set of scales like these, i know that Tom aka Sharptonn would love these!

That would be nifty. I'll restore the blade and keep my eyes peeled for a set of matching scales.

Yes! Those are nice! AND hard to come by!

Do you know anything about this handle? I just found the same one. Looking for information about it.

I feel the "Our Best" is from Ott Bros. No worries about the Boker scales. Probably of Bakelite!
