Thread: 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.

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.

And there you have it! The outsized scales seem typical as well. The bevel is waving like flag in the wind? TBH, likely IS Dovo?
Vintage makers knew. I officially digress......

I’m holding it in my hand right now. You either need thicker glasses or I would need a better photo to convince you. But I’m not going to change your mind. You like it or you don’t.

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

Oh I am happy for you, don't get me wrong. I got some glasses,

Where IS that Boker factory? Has someone bought the name? Cranked her back-up did they? Made where?
I suppose it's just me.
Just expressing my opinion. Have fun.
