Thanks guys I appreciate it. The gems are real but they are made in a lab.

 

Almost...... Too sweet to shave with.

Now, repeat after me....
There's no place like home.

Very new to me. I didn't know they made true Damascus blades. What does it date back to??

 

I did not either, very interesting.

The Damascus pattern is impressive. First Boker I have seen in Damascus. You must be very pleased with the addition.

 

I believe its made from Damasteel:

Yes, thanks. Shaves beautifully, like my other Bökers.

A little rich for my blood, but I'd love to have one.

 

Wow! Some serious acquisitions here!

 

That is a gorgeous razor Keith!

 

C.V. Heljestrand Not sure which model .Maybe a MK 30 or MK 31 ?

 

Two Wosty Pipe Razors. I polished them a little when I got them. They were a little cruddy. The dark areas are just shadows. Very very shiny blades. Both cost me more than I liked, but they are "Pipe Razors", and I do like Pipe Razors. $16 Each.

The top one is the older one.
1/4 Hollow Blade
Bottom one is larger and a little newer, perhaps later 1800-early 1900.
Full Hollow Blade.
