You could grind it down and hone it and use it, but it would take a lot of work. It's a shame.

Here's my one and only Böker, an extra-hollow beauty discovered on eBay, rescaled at some point in its lifetime:

I have posted this razor on another forum looking for info and I thought it belonged here. It was bought at auction with several other razors and laid around quite a while before I got around to using it.
All I can say is Boker razors (at least the vintage ones) are really nice shavers. I use this razor a lot now and am glad I didn't wait longer to clean it up and try it.
Thanks to everyone for posting and sharing.

H. Boker made this razor for the Wolff, Lane & Co. in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and is dated in between 1860-1895. This is one of my favorite razors because it holds a great edge, looks awesome to me, and is the most comfortable well balanced razor I have ever held. You can literally balance it on one finger when open. I know I have posted this before but wanted to give a more intimate review after realizing how special this razor is to me.

I have a Robeson with a similar Boker stamp made in the late 1880's. It's a great shaver. You can see it in post number 16 of this thread: http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...obesons-2.html

I see the Boker "Our Pet' in the 1906 catalog. The Robeson stamp on my 'Our Pet' dates it pre 1885 per this info: RobesonsRme.com under the history tab. BAsed on this info it would appear that "Our Pet' was in production for a few years.
