Thread: My New Vintage Boker

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.

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!

Max is da bomb alright. The 1056 is one of my favorite Bokers. Mine has the black fancy scales. I've never seen one with the enclosed tang and those scales. I know Max will surpass the originals.

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.

I can't wait to see what Max is going to do with this... oh the suspense!!

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", 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
