I rescued this peculiar little Boker from the wild this morning.
There have been a few posted here in the past, but today is the first time
I've seen one in person.

:hmmm:Wow, that is a thin blade.
3/8 like a DD Styledge. I heard barbers used them mostly for trimming around ears and neck. I have never used mine. I like the cave man look :<0)
I can see how this little guy would be good for behind/around the ears.
Maybe just under the nose would be a good place to try it too.
This is going to be a fun restore project : )
Just stay out of your nostrils with it. Tempting but.................. :<0)
It is tempting..
Ah ash aaah chooo! Que blood everywhere. :-(
I have a J. A. Henckels similar.............I figured it was a mustache razor! The blade is 7/16".Quote:

I just finally honed it the other night but haven't used it yet. I put tape on my spines to keep from having spine wear & I had to cut the tape a lot more narrow because the blade isn't as wide. I'll see how it goes this next time I shave, I'll try it around my mustache area.Quote:

I have been going through my straights to find a certain one but I can't seem to find it but it'll show up. I came across this one & had forgotten I had it but it is a Wade & Butcher most likely for trimming mustaches. The blade is 7/16" wide.
Is it extra hollow ground like the 4/8th bokers.Quote:

Nice! You should have kept it.
Worst part is I think I low balled myself on it :( Find some... Fix some... Win some... Lose some
Yep...........that sucks but I've done the same.Quote:
