Thread: Böker Manufaktur Solingen

Surfing the Boker (Germany) site, I've falled in love with The Celebrated design.


Specially with the model Mother of Pearl 2.0 ... despite It's not MOP.


But I can't find experience on.
Can you share?

I have seen these for sale on Griffith Shaving Goods and have been very tempted. So far I haven't hit the 'buy now' button.

In the world of guitar collecting that is referred to as "mother of toilet seat."

I find them very attractive.
The MOP model is very nice, it would be my second choice. In the first pic I like the model in the lower left hand the best.
Thanks for sharing.

To be clear that was not intended to say anything derogatory. That's just to say that's what guitar collectors call that peraloid. I think it's very nice also.

My vintage Bokers all shave well and take excellent edges without a lot of bother. I hope they have maintained that level of quality with their new offerings.

I don't have that model but I do have the #14. All forging and grinding is carried out in house. I am very pleased with mine.

The styling is similar to the vintage ones. This one for example.


I always liked that chisel point on the toe end of the spine


I believe this one is made in the 1920s but I'm not positive.

Etchings on the Boker blades are very nice. "Bicycle Race" model is also intriguing. It would be very nice to visit their factory or factory store.

Ordered the faux tortoise shell one, received it literally hours ago. Have to say the ground is much better than Dovo, but again, as most have mentioned here, it not shave ready.
