Thread: The Boker Brotherhood

[quote=str8razor;215603]Pic #1 = Has a bicycle race etched on the blade.

I have the same razor. Shaves great

Does this get me in the Brotherhood?

welcome aboard!!!!!

As per request by Doc who was so nice to identify this late Model 1056, 3/4 hollow H. Boker from the early 1900's. The razor was send to me for a full restore and rescale.

I got this in the mail on friday. Was out of town, otherwise would have posted earlier.

I have rubbed it with a little flitz for about 5 minutes, then honed her up.

The scales are cool, but man do I dig the shape of the blade. Thumbnotches are awesome.

I have lusted for one for a while now. Congrats !!!!!!!

Doc,

On that 3/4 hollow Razor Max posted...have you ever seen one in a full hollow or atleast a full in that spine/point. The one I have is a standing tree with NO modle #'s and is a true full Hollow. Pore pic on page 4. Maybe not a 1056?

I don't have the razors to look at end on, but often the difference between a 3/4 hollow and a full hollow is simply what someone calls the grind. What I mean is that someone might call a given blade a 3/4 hollow while someone else calls it a full hollow.

...Or maybe your blades do have different grinds. I'm sure Doc will know more.

On mine you can see just behind/above the beval were the belly is then it gets real thin again. You can feel it too. It is what I call a true full.
Mine looks like the Full in the link and it sings like a canary.
