    Default 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.

    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.

    Okay, got it shave ready. Not much effort really, bevel is set correctly on arrival, so only 30 laps on 12K, 7 laps on 30K.
