It was 35CAN$, so I figured i didn't have much to loose. I noticed a scale is cracked at the pin, but i was gonna rescale it anyway. From what I could find on the interwebs, it's from around 1920-1935.

If it's actually that old, it's in great condition. I'll just hand sand it until I'm happy, and then I'll try to put it in those scales I made some time ago.

I wanted to use them for my other razor, a Thiers & Issard 1937 special coiffeur, but I didn't dare unscale my only razor, since I didn't want to risk dammaging it.

After I'll try to hone it. It will be my first try so wish me luck :) My girlfriend just got me a 3k/8k combination naniwa for my birthday (she's the best) and after reading every article on honing available on the SRP....three times... I should be able to at least give it a shot. I'll let you guys know how it goes, but it might take a while.

You can do it. There's way more than enough info on this forum, you've got good steel and a good hone to work with. I love old Bokers.

PM me if you want to chat about it off forum. Good luck.
