    Default My Bokers

    Just sharing with the other Böker lovers.

    Here is an original King Cutter with MOP Tang in 5/8 size. very nice shaver extra hollow.

    the second is a Bôker Perfection which I rescalled in cocobollo, It is a perfect shaver 7/8 at the toe 6/8 at the heel. One of my best shavers

    Found this on E-Bay last week, got it yesterday, for $43.50 figured I couldn't go wrong, as I've never seen a Boker King Cutter quite like this.

    Going to get it fixed up, honed, and restored, as the inlays are somewhat coming off the tang.


    It's a King Cutter with MOP inlays, it's a 5/8, description says between 1924-35, scales look like bone, not sure.

    Anyhow, anyone have any info on this blade?

    edit: seems there's one above with the MOP tang...interesting?

    Hahaha...yes, for myself who just wrote the other day that I was going to be more particular about the razors I buy now, seems I've about 3 too many, "couldn't go wrong", and "couldn't that resist for $$" type thing...just what I need, another razors that will be used once every 8 weeks!!! Think I'll just go back to living in denial...

    The MOP tang doesn't bugs me, but I don't think the scales are made of a natural matter, looks like more plastic for me.

    Wait and see

    The blade is very beautiful anyway.

    A complete noob's first blade.

    Picked up as an impulse buy. The blade looks to be in good shape, with a bit of frown, but no knicks or anything else.

    Not sure about the age of it. The tag said 1880s, but I haven't been able to match the tree up to anything that I've been able to find on the web.

    I'm excited to get it cleaned up and honed so I can give it a try.
