as soon as I seen this I had to have it. I had been looking for a razor with file work and covered tangs for some time, there is just something about the Bokers that do it for me. I am trying to figure out how much restore I am going to do. I actually like the dark patina, and am thinking of keeping it.

That is really cool! I'd love to know where you found it!

Beautiful razor. Any more pics?

Here is the only problem with it, I have to figure out what I am going to do, and yes the seller sent a photo of this area, but it was blurry, regardless I did know there was some sort of damage at this location. I think it was still worth it, I will probably post over in the workshop forum sometime to get advice.

I think it's totally worth a full restore and a custom look if it were mine, I would lose the scales, and the inserts on the tang, it could be a spectacular looking custom job IMO. would love to see the finished razor, if you decide to go down that road, good luck.
Regards Jamie.
Excellent spine work!
That is one sweet razor! I don't like the look of the rust under the tange covers but it might not be that bad once they are safely removed for cleaning.
P.S. I like the Blaine's hot sauce keychain! I have one too. I baught the Life after Death sauce.
Thanks for the extra shots - love that spine work!! The tang guards are really cool too, hopefully you can retain them after resto.
Very nice Boker and im sure she will be a great shaver as well.
*whistles* look at them fancy pants 'ngravins. I would restore this blade as well, so you are not alone in wanting to do it. Keep the spines and scales, don't throw them away! Some guy...almost a hundred years ago gave a lot of thought and planning into making this a stylish razor!

Thank you, I am very pleased, I finally shaved with it two nights ago, and was very excited about it. :)Quote:

Sorry for the tiny pic, this picture is about 11 years old -- I owned this razor then, I only posted it to show possible scales...
Thoughtful post stimpy!
I would be very happy to see a collection of similarly designed Bokers on this thread.
:)
Very nice razor. Sometimes it comes with very beautiful patina. But I have never seen this well known blade with green scales. Usually it comes with black handle.
This H.Boker very much resemble yours. I have one more razor by H.Boker, with covered tongue, but no photo at the moment. It also has black scales.
yes, I have only lightly used metal cleaner on it, and the finest MiroMesh I have. I want to do what I can to preserve the patina. I like the dark look.Quote:
