Whoa, post office works fast. I had no idea you got it back already.

Very nice. Soon you'll be looking at pen display cases to display your straights in.... I know I am.... :\ Stupid trip to Golden Nib....

Arrived this morning. Really looking forward to tomorrow's shave.

I picked up a couple of white china base/chrome toothbrush stands that are working great in my cabinet... Each holds 4 and both are full, and my Wosty is in the wings waiting it's turn. (I also have an Eagle Magnetic blade to add scales to eventually...)

Took some more pictures of the Boker in a sunbeam today, will get to processing those shots soon. The faux-tortoise scales really glow with the sun behind them...

Thanks! So far the W&B and the Be Wise are my two favorite shavers. Looking forward to my first pro-honed shave tomorrow with the Boker, though. The rest I've honed myself on a shoestring budget.

Hones: Samurai 800/4000, Smith fine Arkansas, Chinese 12k, and a few vintage barber hones and strops.

Nice str8s! I'm in the process of making my razors shave ready and your picture helps getting there.

That Be Wise is a real beauty
