Thread: Does anyone have a Boker Elite?

Does anyone own or tried one of the new Boker Elite's? How do you find it? Any pics of different scale variations?

Boy, you are picking at an open wound! I was fortunate enough to see a prototype of the new Elite last February and immediately ordered one. The picture does not do it justice; it is a beautiful thing indeed! Production was to begin in May. Around the end of May I was advised that was delayed till the end of June. 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.
