    Default Interesting limited edition Boker

    I saw this and was oddly drawn to it. And every Boker I’ve had has been a great shaver.

    That's a wicked looking point, looks like a hybrid spike x French/irish point.

    It looks like it’s almost a spike, but not quite there. A few trips around the hone and it could easily be there though.

    Nice looking razor. I like that finish.

    Man. I cannot understand how modern razor configurations have evolved. I suppose a painted or blued blade is different.
    Most old names brought back to life disappoint me, no matter the product.

    Odd man out, but it seems typical and pre-frowned from the maker. To me, Boker was never the 'end-all' even back in the day.
    I doubt these are as well.
    JMO.
    "Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
    I rest my case.

    Really? I would reserve that for Dovo. I have modern and vintage Bokers and they are all great. Easy to hone and take great edges. And I can assure you, there’s no frown. As we say ymmv.

    Your right! Either like or don't. I don't. Looks pretty hokey to me! I'll stick with the old stuff.
