Thread: TI or Boker

If I can make a suggestion. I am fairly new as well so I can come at this with your perspective I believe. They number one are correct SRAD will hit before you even realize it so just f e the fact you will have both.... Finances allowing eventually. That's out of the way ..... I have a Thiers-Issard Spartaus 889 in 5/8 with amber tortoise shells ......; it is an amazing razor I also have a new Boker 5/8 and a vintage H.Boker model 1056 in mint condition. The Bokers shave just as good !!!! Let me give you a 3rd and even better option, a 5/8 Ralf Aust ,....... I know it's not TI or Boker , but will shave every bit as good in Germany Aust is considered equal to Dovo and Boker ....... And it is only $99 opposed to $300 and your just getting started ! Use that other $200 buy a good 3" strop a stand for the razor a new cream or soap and some after shave and with the remaining $50 fill your car up with gas. Seriously I own 2 Ralf Aust razors they are top-notch you will NOT regret it.





And for good measure here is the Boker 1056 on the left and the TI on the right

So have you been able to make a choice and if yes, what is it? Not to nosy, just like to know

I don't have a Boker, But I love my TI.
