My 1st Boker arrived... been waiting for the right one and I got lucky.
Normally I see these in a 5/8-6/8 size, and they are beautiful. Boker King Cutter:

And this one landed a tad bit larger... very happy

Now that is my kind of Boker.

King Cutter, 8/8 that’s out of sight!

That one lives up to it's name. Great find and congratulations.

 

Thanks This one should be fun to use.

 

Some one help me please, LOL! Just bought another Wade & Butcher wedge 5/8 " You Lather Well, I'll Shave Well"

 

Nobody here is going to help you, we are all a bunch of enablers.

 

I know but it couldn't hurt to try! ROFL It's like going to a Bar for an AA meeting!

 

Pics???

 

HINODE Yasuhira　124 6/8 inch.

Japanese Straight.
This is after cleaning up, a little, fixing a large frown, and honing.

 

Wade & Butcher, Special.

Kind of rusty, but there might be hope.

 

We need pics! And if you really want help send the wallet assaulting razors my way for proper disposal.

 

Thanks for the very generous offer but I think I will pass at this time!

 

Ok, Ok It hasn't got here yet so these are pics where I got it from.
I know one of the scales aren't the greatest but it's a good razor from a person I've bought from before and all his razors shave well.

 

Very impressive haul, well done!

Thank you

 

Oh Happy Day, Oh Happy Day! I got my Greaves back! The guy I sold it to decided he didn't like a wedge after all and traded me for a different razor, a hollow ground 11/16. Oh Happy Day, Oh Happy Day! It was my first wedge and it shaved awesome, I'm so glad to get it back! And yes I did check it carefully and it seems to be in the same condition and just as sharp as I sold it to him in. This razor is not going anywhere again! I also picked up another W&B Celebrated but this time a 6/8 hollow ground razor and a vintage 6 razor hard case.

Today was a Great Day!

 

OK, OK, I know pics, got to have pics. So here they are:

and the case:

Told you I had a great day! LOL
And just in case you forgot the Greaves:
