Thread: Old razors and some help

Nice score! Like everyone else, I never heard of a Boker made in Japan! You may have a rare one there.

Real nice Bengal, they are great shavers. Congrats

Well The I guess its not a fake Though I doubted a fake would be made in Japan. China seems the more leikely place for that kind of nonsense.
Are they decent? Does your compare to a german Boker?
As it is in the worst shape and I am new to honing/restoring (these will be my first ones) It will be quite a while before I get to even thinking about trying to fix it up. Hopefully by next week Ill be able to test shave the Bengal.

Well, that certainly explains it. I looked through my resources & came up with nothing but I did not check all of my resources though. A great find though!
