Boker 5/8 Radium

Theirs-Issard Special Coffeur 1937 5/8"

The razor I started with didn't respond to two honing jobs so I summoned the TI from the bullpen and it got the save.

I guess the Swaty can't handle every situation...time to get the 4K/8K/12K out and get busy.

5/8 Koeller Magnetic. My old faithful first straight could use a rescale, but it's nice to know that one of my least favorite razors still provides a great shave.

6/8 Le Grelot. It's a 6/8 the way a woman tells a clerk in a dress shop that she's a size 6.

It's big, heavy, plodding, and ever so slightly unwieldy, but does it ever shave like a dream. Wonderful razor.
