Thread: The Boker Brotherhood

Here's my entry. It's a 6/8's king cutter I re-scaled in birds eye maple. I stained it with a red aniline dye and finished it with 8 coats of high gloss polyurethane, walnut wedge. What a great shaver this one is. Still not sure on the date of this one.

Hi

Found this guy recently, 7/8 Hindoo. It has a little bit of staining, and looks to have been re-scaled in it's past. I honed it up (coticule only) and it shaved real nice. (I was a bit concerned, it's the largest blade I have and was not sure if a larger blade was more 'scary'. It was not, my fear was unfounded.)





I didn't even know it was a Boker when I bought it. The only evidence is a really tiny tree on the tail.

Hey all, just wanted to pop in and say how much I love my old Bokers. I have recently decided to sell off all of my other razors because they don't shave nearly as well as my fav 3 - all Bokers.

I have just acquired a King Cutter with the same tang stamp as in this photo. I am having trouble dating it. Is there a particular date range for these trees that are not in line with the tangs? School me oh Boker Brotherhood!
