This one has a fabulous look and should shave well once dialed-in !

I must say this is a fabulous looking blade. If I am honest, I don't care much for the scales, though I apreciate the incredible craftmanship, just not my cuppa. But that non-mirror blade, the shape, the grind, everything..... I don't know who made it but boy, did he do a great job working that steel....Decided to go for a slow and traditional shave today since I had time (daughter and wife out for shopping !!).
Pre-shave oil on dry face
Scorpio and Cobra out of my 7 day set (9/8)
Steamer and hot towels (before each pass)
Meißner Tremonia Bay Rhum soap
Omega super large boar Barber Brush
Sē’bŭm after shave
I think I’ll probably need another shave in 2 days. Super deep and irritation free BBS or a possible definition of bliss ....

Well, his was the first artisan razor I ever tried, a 1/4 hollow T-Rex custom made for a Spanish forum. I was amazed, shaving just seemed effortless, although I wasn't (and never be) sold on the finger notch om the tang.Cédric Christ made 7 blades like this one.
Excellent artisan and person.

Knowing your incredible skill in finding razors that everyone else only can dream of I suspected his razor will be mysteriously gone when he wakes up tomorrow.[

I think I'll shave with my early version in steel llined horn scales tomorrow. Large Heljestrand razors seem to be very hard to let go off. They're kind of addictive.Well, if you are looking to increase your disposable income, I am always in the market for a 6/8 or 7/8 CV Heljestrand....
PS. The Boker is also available with Wenge scales.

Thanks! I found this one in NOS condition when I was a complete straight razor newbie. I thought I had paid way too much for it. Hindsight says I got a real bargain. It's not going into the safe because it sees far too much use for that.Keep this one in your safe and never give me your gps coordinates. I need it !
