Thread: Boker Barbers choice.

Snagged this Boker, a Gillette DE, and a medium and large bowl thickness Calipers on my latest hunt. Pretty happy with these.

I really hate when the antique stores use sticker price tags on these. I found a minty W&B box a while back for $5 and they used a sticker price tag that I still don't want to mess with. It's just going to peel everything with it.

Nice Haul Andrew. I love Spanish tip razors. Hone it up and youll see why

My first Spanish point. It needs to be unpinned, lots of devils spit in the pivot. Should be able to get it on the hones tonight yet. After sharing your lovely stones with us in that other thread, I'm thinking Y/G Thuri for this one.

Goo Gone is the librarian's / bookseller's friend for getting sticky stuff off fragile surfaces. I've used it since I learned of it a few years back. I use it from the bottle with a dauber/ Q tip not the spray

Didn't see this when I bought it. Someone's tried to fix it cause there's CA all over it. Maybe pop out the ends and turn a nice ebony replacement.

That is a problem often found with the "Ball End Techs." The tube was "work hardened" from the rolling knurl processing and after the ends were crammed into it the pressure, over time, split the handle tube.
The ebony sounds like nice replacement!
Cheers

Daaaaamn! Ya that's nice John. Don't think I could get that across the border though. I actually have a lot of scrap, real Lignum vitae around here. Think I might use that.

I agree, I hate it when they use stickers on things. They don't have the brains to realize that it ruins the item it is on usually................if it is paper.

I love the small lot you got there Wally, nice find!!!

I have the spray but I have sprayed it on a Q-tip to get some sticky goo off. Thanks for the post Richard.
