Thread: Vintage Boker in tan G10

Brass lined wedge, tan G10, brass hardware. Pretty plain restore, but it's a razor I'd been wanting to shave with, so it needed scales. Thanks for looking. As with everything else I rebuild, this one was fairly bad off when I got it, but it doesn't have a before pic.

Looks nice and tidy. You pinning looks pretty good too.

How does it shave?

I haven't even honed it yet Stu. But I'll let you know when I do. Thanks.

Nice restore, well done you.

Honed it last night. This is one of those razors that really just want to be sharp. With minimal effort it honed, and the shave was well above my expectations for a first time. Normally it takes me a few tries to get it right. Anyways, Bokers are fast becoming my favorite razors. This is the second one I've had my hands on, and I'm just really impressed by them. I may have found my favorite brand in this razor. I touched it to Thuringian tonight, just to see if that brings me into "pro honed" territory. Great razor though. Just great. In fact, after shaving with it, I feel like I've done a disservice in it's presentation. haha. It'll need different scales someday. But for now, I'm going to enjoy it.

that looks very good! congrats! I missed out on a king cutter in my antique shop the other day. I was pretty damn pissed lol, It was ten bucks and I passed it like a cheap ass..then when I went back to get it it was gone. anyways im done ranting lol....nice razor!!!
