Thread: Red Injun differences?

Hi, Folks;

I just picked up a Boker Red Injun 102 from Holli4, and it got me wondering about the differences between the Red Injun models. I've seen a 101, a 102 and a 301. I've seen the 101 & 102 in both round point and square. I did some looking through the straight razor database and searched the old threads for some info with no joy. Can anyone school me on the differences between the models and how many there are?

Many thanks,

Larry

the 101,102 have different blade widths 5/8, 3/4 respectively. I believe there was a 103 too but I could be mistaken. As for the 301 I couldnt tell you. If you look in the Boker Brotherhood there is an old catalogue that has the differences for the 101,102.

Thanks, Mad. That sounds like a good place to start.

Cheers,

Larry

I have a Bob Keyes restoration 101 that I am crazy about!....for whatever that's worth.

I have a 101 that is my best shaver as well. Definitely a must own.

Thanks, guys. I certainly appreciate the input. I'm looking forward to seeing how my 102 shaves!

I picked up one on eBay.

It is a 101 RP and has a shorter blade 2-1/2"


Not sure if it's the 101 model that is shorter or if the "RP" designation is what makes it shorter.

Okay, I read the Brotherhood thread and reviewed the catalogue.

Okay so the difference between a 101 and 101 RP is round point vs square point.

Mine is definitely a square point 101 RP, so I guess someone ground it down after the fact to the shorter length.

But damn, whomever ground it down certainly made it look original. It does look stock, even if it isn't.


And I do enjoy shaving with the short blade. Makes a difference in getting into odd spots on my neck.

Thanks for the info, Des. Maybe I'm a bonehead, but I had no luck finding the Boker Catalog. Do you have to be in the Boker Brotherhood to access that info?

In the Razors sub-forum, at the top of the page is Razor Clubs sub-sub forum.

About 10 threads down is "Boker Brotherhood"

The catalogue is posted as a PDF attachment a number of pages in.
