Thread: ebay EDELWEISS BOKER - worth ?

Hello
What do you think of this razor?
The EDELWEISS BOKER ? it seem to be in a mint condition and nice price
Is it a good one? worth buying?

Well his strting bid is $39 and it is probably worth at least that.

I sold one with black 3-pin scales to a fellow-member (I am not sure if he wanted to be identified) for $60 IIRC. It was also NM. However, I was getting a good profit margin, so I didn't want to ask too much for it, especially when selling to members.

Forget the price for a moment, how is the razor when it come to shaving and quality?

It wasn't as fully shave-ready as I would have liked it to be, but it was going as a rescaling project. The scales were fine but the buyer wanted to make a nice custom set for it. The one Boker that I did get shave ready just wiped the stubble off my face. It should be a great shaver though.

My Boker is the best shaver I have. As Ilija say's it just slides across the face. I really like it. If I could make one change it would be a 6/8 instead of a 5/8. But I keep watching. All of my straights are 5/8 and I am currently watching for larger ones, but with the prices on them I think most guys looking for a straight razor are heading in that direction.
Oh well, I have nothing but time!
