I just got this in the mail today after having won it off the bay. It's going to be going out the door to get in line for a Max Makeover--I think it's got some real potential. Thought I would share some pics since we all like razor pictures, right?

That is a beauty. Max is the best but what is to makeover ?
That's a nice blade, great detail work on it. :beer2:
I want to fit it up with some custom scales and tang work. Sacrilegious, I know, to the vintage purists but I know it will come out awesome!Quote:

I take it then its also a great shaver? (good steel, takes a good edge, etc?) Aesthetics aside, I had heard good things about the old bokers (new ones as well), and I think I'm really going to like the size of the razor.Quote:

Thats a nice looking SR,cant wait to see what it will look like after Max gets done... do post some after pics :)
As president and founder of the "SAVE THE VINTAGE RAZOR FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD:mace:", I must insist you surrender that innocent yet BEEUTIFOOL artifact over to me at once,or face the consequences of having to shave with a Mach 3,while waiting for Max to do his magic and creating a work of art.Anyhow,Nice score and dont forget the razor porn once you get it back from MAX.;)
Hello, jseitz76,
Yes, indeed, that is a sweet looking Boker. Max will turn it into a masterpiece.
Regards,
Obie
Wow, thats a beauty!
I can't wait to see what Max does with it!
That's a beaut! It's your decision and all, but I wouldn't let go of those scales, myself.
If you're just planning on getting rid of 'em, I'll gladly take them off your hands. :D The matching tang cover is awesome, too.
But, to each their own. Nice score, love the worked spine. Can't wait to see what Max does! :tu
Beautiful Razor. Looking forward to the After pictures.
Outstanding Boker! I have not seen one with a covered tang in those nice scales either. Looks fine now, but it will rock after the makeover-can't wait to see the "after" pix and shave report!
