Beautiful vintage Boker, man. I have loved every one I have ever honed or shaved with!
What a great condition vintage Boker , just the way you like to find them. Have to say I am another one who has not had a bad experience honing or shaving with a Boker. Congrats and enjoy.

Just like in the desk drawer, it stopped for a hundred years and it is now open.
Nice Boker. They really do take a good edge, and are a pleasure to shave with.
Very nice. I love the matching details on the tang and scales
I see you put it to use already in today's SOTD. Did it come shave ready or did you give it some honing time?

As you can see it needs a lot of work.
Sorry I didn't mean to step on your post. But thank you for helping me have that realization that this was a Boker. Yours is much nicer than mine.
It will be a good razor after finishing.
I look forward to it. I have seen a couple of your posts. You have at least a couple of very nice pieces in your collection. You have a sharp eye for good razors. Good hunting!
Looking for a special razor, his historical story has been beautiful so far.Quote:

No, fairly common I would think. Part of the Boker family came to the USA and set up shop for some reason which I have forgotten.Quote:
