Thread: Got a Boker, not sure of value

Hey gents, been a while since my first/last post, been working a lot lately and really just started learning up more on straight razors/upkeep/and shaving with such. Bought a Webb? not long ago, shave ready and just picked up a Star brand strop off Ebay last night to get it all kicked off. I know it's a slow start but it's a start none the less :-). Anyways, this specific post is in regards to a Boker No 386 I picked up today with the nifty case. I paid $65 for the pair, very hesitantly, and after looking on ebay I may or may not have paid a little much. My question to you guys is as to the time period this might have derived from. I'm on the verge of selling it, possibly to fund some more shaving gear, otherwise I might send it off to be professionally honed.
Thanks in advance for any input, hope every has a nice weekend.

There is no appraisals on the forum. Boker is a good brand though, and have always had a good reputation. We all pay a little much from time to time, get it honed and put it back to work. I think the only way to get your money back from overpaying is to shave with it a lot, after all that is their biggest value.

Plus the case is COOL!

Sorry, wasn't aware of the appraisal rule. Yeah, I figured as much, but as you state, can pay for itself over the years, the case is really what drew me to it haha.

From the look of the case, it was probably a two razor set. It would be very cool to find a match for the missing one

I bought a pair of fine ring because I liked the case, the bonus being they are incredible razors. I'm sure we are not the only two who have done this.
