    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.

    Wade & Butcher, Special.

    Kind of rusty, but there might be hope.

    Ok, Ok It hasn't got here yet so these are pics where I got it from. W&B I'll lather.jpg W&B I'll lather2.jpg W&B I'll lather3.jpg W&B I'll lather4.jpg W&B I'll lather5.jpg
    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.

    :bounce017: Oh Happy Day, Oh Happy Day! :bounce017: 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! :bounce017: 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!
