That Boker turned out great. One of my first straights was a Red Injun 101.

I think it is a re-grind, as mine appears to be the same one/model, but with a near-wedge, circa 1816-1822. 275723

Is that handle made from stabilized wood? It has burl and epoxy of some kind? I want some material like that.

Well, it looks like a fancy toe. I think my Boker is older than yours. The toe may have been made that way? I took the scales off. I'm either throwing them away or selling them, if anyone needs/wants...

I posted a picture of my newest arrival in the mail and the only thing people took notice of, was that I said something about over-stropping. They forgot or didn't care about my polishing efforts on...

Ok, nobody was interested in my fancy blade, just interested in correcting my thoughts on stropping?

Here is my newest blade, after polishing it out with .3 micron strop paste and taking it through my stones. It cut a hanging hair fairly well, but I'm sure it will shave well. I was careful not to...

Outback, what did you do to your ankle? Nice scale material. What is it? Looks like some kind of ebony?

Somebody here contacted me about buying the scales. I'll let them go for a cheap price. I need to buy scales for at least 4 razors I own; my big W. Greaves and Sons, this new H. Boker and Co., a...

I used 400 grit wet/dry this morning. The blade has no issues, other than old staining that wont polish out, but will polish highly. Thanks for the advice. I wont need these cream-colored scales, if...

This is my newest acquisition. I thought I was getting a Clauss, but it turns out, I got an H. Boker and Co., instead. It is a 5/8. These photos were taken after I let the blade sit with some naval...

I have a nice razor coming tomorrow. I'll submit before and after photos soon. It has a great looking spine and wild point/toe.
