Thread: Razor Family Growing

Well, my family of razors is slated to grow again.
On Thursday I ordered a Boker 5/8 Red Injun 101
from Bill Ellis. Looking forward to receiving it and
getting to use it. I've always liked Boker knives
and can only assume that their razors are of
exceptional quality.

I've been searching the Internet and can't seem
to find when Boker quit producing razors and
when the Red Injun's were produced. Any of
you guys have an idea?

You can find manufacturer information here. As far as specific models, I'm not sure where to look, but at least this is a start.

Not to much out there on specifics, but their web site has a pretty cool history of the company and contact info. They might be able to help. http://www.boker.de/index2.php

Dawill and Pmays,

Thanks for to help me find out the answer to my question.
The list of razor makers is quite good, even though I failed
to find Boker ( could have overlooked it ) I did save it to
favorites. I will review it in the future when and if I spot
out a vintage razor I want.

The Boker website was pretty cool as well. I did look at this
a couple days ago after ordering the razor. Sure wish they
would have given just the general dates of razor manufacture.

I will keep searching, will eventually run on to something.

Thanks again to both of you guys for taking the time to
answer my question.


Regards,

Terry
