Sorry, but here you're wrong.
Why did you think so?
No offense meant manah
It was my poor attempt at a compliment both to yourself and varan.
My first thought when i saw the photo of this rare and unusual Boker was to ask for your assistance.
When I saw it was you who posted the photo I thought to my self "well now who do we ask?"
Then I saw varan´s photo and thought maybe he is Russia´s version of manah, full of info and very resourceful.
I will try one or two contacts I have in Germany that may have some info on this manufacturer, but chances are you have more than I do.
In any case I will keep my eyes open if I come across anything.
Thanks for posting these photos.
It goes to show that the world of razors is really very big.
These razors were sold by one Russian seller.
He did a great advertising. That's why many Russian users have them.
Possibly, they were made for his market.
I've taken the razor only for test and found nothing special.
But the price was very high.
I've found info about the maker.
Alle Hersteller: Böker
Unfortunately, he died.
Not surprising to me that another Boker would make razor and benefit from the tree brand popularity!
Perhaps a family feud way back!
I've seen just now, that the pictures in the first post were changed.:)
...possibly, after forum update.
