Thread: Brand new Boker razor, terrible?

Got my RMA number, shipping it back out today. They told me when they received the razor they would give me a call so that they could understand the issue and make sure the replacement is better over the phone.
Good to hear that people out there do like their Bokers!
I have a vintage razor I really like, but it came fully restored. Its very easy to get ripped off buying vintage, and then you have to deal with rust and bla bla bla, I like new razors with no pitting and hone wear that I did not put on. I understand why people go vintage rout, but its just not for me.

There are two simple ways to avoid difficulty with buying vintage razors.

First, only buy from a seller that you trust. Second, only buy razors that are photographed well and completely.

I hope your replacement fixes the problem. I'll add 1 to the happy with Boker reviews. I bought a new King Cutter about a month ago from a reputable vendor here in Canada, made shave ready by him. I've been using it about every second day, and it looks and shaves great, on par with my Dovo, so hopefully you just got a rare production problem.
