6/8" H. Boker Elite Round Point Straight Razor | Shave Ready

 Available is the H. Boker Elite Straight Razor with black acrylic metal lined handles. This razor comes to us from a private collection, lightly used and has been sanitized & honed by our hone-miester Eric. A classically beautiful wet shaving tool, the blade grind is particularly unusual, giving the knife exceptional dynamics. The solid 6/8 inch carbon-steel blade is very attractive due to the combination of the extra-fine hollow grind with two false edges on the spine. The exceptional shaving knife is fabricated in 140 processing steps by the Boker knife manufactory in Solingen. 

It arrives 100% Shave Ready after being finished on a 20,000 stone, stropped, and oiled. Pick up this razor today!

"Honing starts out on a Chosera 1000 Wet stone were I begin to set the bevel. Once the bevel outline is finished I move onto the Chosera 3000 where the bevel is cleaned up and refined. Next its on to the polishing stage which starts out on the Aishyama 6000 and moves to the naniwa 12000. After the 12k, a perfectly good shave can occur. But we like to take it one step further and finish with a high polish on the Suehiro Gokumyo 20000." Eric, Razor Miester. After honing, the blade is stropped, oiled, and arrives shave ready! Please do not strop this razor before your first shave.
