    Update: I emailed the owner of the company, and he got back with me, fast. He stated his razors are manufactured in Pakistan.

    Tonight's shave was with a freshly restored, and honed razor. I had a very smooth and silent 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Zero issues. These Old Wosty Pipe Wedges are fantastic shavers.

    Razor- Geo Wostenholm & Sons, "Pipe Razor". Wedge ground.
    Brush- Vie Long Horse Hair
    Cream- Proraso Sandalwood
    Aftershave- Florida Water

    New acquisition from @M14Shooter ; Boker Red Injun. I have been on the hunt for one of these for awhile and out of the blue, this dandy dropped right in my lap :D Typiical wonderful shave as expected from one of the top notch Solingen producers. I do like my Japs & Swedes, but the Germans are just consistently good shavers and so cooperative on the hones:) This one's going to Yellowstone with me next week ;)

    Nice razor!
    I've seen a number of those particular Boker models (and honed a few). Like most Bokers, they take a solid edge without much effort.

    Soapbox time: as far as model names go, I imagine the Boker company no longer uses the pejorative term 'Red Injun' as model nomenclature. Being part Indian myself (Choctaw), I've always found it interesting in American culture how most ethnicities are off limits to stereotypical branding with the exception of American Indians.
