Hey there,
I just bought a new BOKER. My treat to myself for quitting smoking. Question is, is this going to be as good as the Boker I have now that is 90 years old? I have an old king cutter (nay be 100 years old) and I just ordered an Edelveiss directly from the manufactuer. Not cheap, but I have the straight razer bug. I see alot of money disappearing in my new shaving hobby.
Congratulations on quitting smoking, you sure deserve to treat yourself. I have a vintage edelweiss (great razor) but cant comment on the new razors.
Good luck!
Quitting smoking is hard. I hope you new blade works out for you. I have never used Bokers so not much help there.
Quiting smoking is the hardest thing ever. Congrats
As long as your new Boker was purchased shave ready you should be impressed with your new toy. Bokers are great razors, no matter the age :)
BTW - Are you in Lancaster Park just north of the Henday and Edmonton?
In answer to your original question, you will have to be the judge of that. let us know what you think.
Congratulations on quitting smoking. Enjoy the new razor.
That's the place
I just got a Boker Edelwiess about 3 weeks ago, and its an awesome shaver. I got it from SRD so it was professionally honed for me. I don't know if it comes ready to shave from the manufacture.
The razer is probably not shave ready as it is new (no middle man) but I have been honing my old razer with good results. And yes... I am in Lancaster Park Alberta, couple miles north of Edmonton. (Tis the army life for me)
I have an old king cutter & used to have a new edelweis too. either new or vintage, imo boker are quality razor as long as its shave ready.
When I sold a few razors including edelweis not becoz they're not good, but I needed to buy a few hones
Happy shaving..
Still not smoking and still waiting for the new razor to arrive... I am not sure what is harder!
Well, both will make you poorer, but razors won't kill you without a major malfunction!! Stick with the quitting, I quit 44 years ago!!! The very best of luck and perseverance to you with my best wishes and prayers!!Quote:
