Thanked: 1Just picked up two more Bokers from an antique dealer. Ones just a pretty basic King Cutter, but it's in generally very good condition. No rust, little hone wear, a very slight smile, and the gold wash is fully intact. The back scale has a crack at the hinge pin, but I think that should be fixable.
The second is definitely an older razor from what I can tell. I think it was originally a square point, but the toe probably got a crack in the tip and it was rounded out. I'm not sure about that though, as it was a very good job that was done to round the tip, very smooth and evenly done. It's very tarnished, but no rust or pitting on the blade (a bit on the jimps). The scales are tight, but are a bit warped or mismatched as they don't line up together. Very little hone wear (less than the cutter actually) and again I think there's a slight smile in the blade.
Both are full hollow grinds.

Very nice finds!
Even in Saskatchewan we can find some pretty nice razors......
Is it over there or over yonder?

Thanked: 127Thank you, the Edelweiss is a fantastic Razor and one of my Favourites in my Collection.
I got it this Year from a big friend of mine and fell directly in Love with it.
Im Curious about the new Versions Böker sells since about one month, the Edelweiss with
the spanish head (similar to the old export Bökers) looks very nice :-)

Thanked: 286Vintage
This is mine, I,ve not long just honed two new bokers that shaved very well, Infact the chap I honed them for was going to sell them, but he loved the way they shaved, so he decided to keep them.
I have this mint vintage Boker and I have to say it's just such a nice razor and to be honest one of the nicest shavers , there's something very different with the steel on the vintage bokers it's just feather smooth on my face .
Here it is
