A Robeson and a Willis Pearl
Picked these up, basic cleaning and shined up the scales a bit, not any other work required

Very nice razors, The shuredge blade and scales look to be in really good condition, and they are great shavers. I dont know what the Pearl razor marking is on the tang but its definately a Boker another great shaver.

Probably made by Boker (as it looks identical) except for no tree on the scales and a different name on the tang cover...

Very nice finds
I saw the Boker Pearl on etsy this evening and immediately thought of this thread.
Is that a pilots cap in the photo?

Covered tangs and Pearl seem to go together http://straightrazorpalace.com/show-...ern-pearl.html . Nice looking razor and honed up I bet she shaves up a storm too.

Yes. Leather cap and silk scarf. The goggles don't work well in the set up.

Looking at it the pearl looks to be a Boker. looks like it has little to no hone wear. nice find. I still don't have one of those.
