Results: I recently won this Böker off eBay and even though she came shave ready, I wanted to re-hone her from scratch and reset the bevel with tape on...that way there is no guessing later on as to what I did, in case I forget (which happens a lot lately :p). She took on an amazing edge and was more than shave ready for today:tu. Also new to my collection is this beautiful Morris & Forndran brush in bone handle. Gave her a good cleaning and she returned the favor by exposing me to her fabulous backbone and ultra soft tips (Shhhh....don't tell my wife :nono:). I thought a Bay Rum überlather would be a great way to inaugurate the maiden voyage of the Böker/M&F combo. What a treat indeed. The M&F performed marvelously and the Böker plowed through the 1-day growth effortlessly:tu . I love how this shave makes me feel:y. |
