Thread: Does anyone have a Boker Elite?

The beginning of production was then pushed back to December.. and I am still waiting. It's like dealing with Microsoft, it'll be available Real Soon Now.

Grr.. anyway, I'm sure it will be worth the wait. BTW, I am told that the figured dark horn scales with nickel silver liners will be the only option although that could change Someday.

Well that would explain then, why I couldn't find any info or reviews on it.
I hope you get your one soon.
If I can find one with some contrasting light marks in the dark horn then I think I'd have to put my name on it. As U2u said above, she sure is singing to me. Now to join the waiting queue.

Nice looking razor for sure. I have 3 vintage Boker King Cutters from various periods in my collection and they are excellent shavers and easy to hone. No experience with their new stuff but i can't see them being bad since they've been making them for over 100 years now...

I have the Elite with carbon vibre scales,pleased would be an understatement.
