    I will send you a vintage Boker for no cost and you can spend your money on another. It's not NOS or anything but it's pretty decent. Maybe then you can see what you think.


    I have a brand new silver steel and it is a fine shaver.

    PM me if you are interested.

    That Redcane is a super guy!!!

    My experience with the 6 I've had was that they all shave superbly!! Vintage Bokers are excellent shavers, no doubt.

    Revisor. You'll probably end up with change too.

    Get a Ralf Aust instead. Trust me, it is exactly the same quality. And the scales on the Arbolito are €3 rubbish, anyway.

    I'm taking Kyle up on his offer! Thanks for your generosity Kyle and as suggested I look forward to paying it forward!

    This is so cool!

    There are some great people on here. I've sent a couple of new members straights to help them get going when they couldn't afford anything yet. I don't mid either because I have a pile of straight razor's. some of which I got cheap on the bay!!!! Ever since Birnando sent me a Filly & I wanted to so something for him & he said for me to just pay it forward so I have. Brigand is another great guy. There are a lot of good people here who are great assets to the shaving community! I never could afford a Filly at the time, then I found a new one on the bay for a steal & got it. You can see it here:

    Engine that was the only thing I asked him was to pay it forward. Lots of guys have helped me on here. Voidmaster, Cuddarunner, Phrank, Harrywally, and Marty to name a few. This is what it's all about.


    That Philly is beautiful. Hopefully one day I come across a affordable one someday.

    This razor is no show winner (overall a real decent razor) but it gives him the opportunity to see what he thinks of Boker and do as he likes with it.

    The exact same thing happened to me when I ordered my Arbolito, apparently they're a hot item and don't stay in stock for long. I just toughed out the wait, and it was worth it, as the Arbolito is a beautiful piece.
