Thread: Latest score, Boker.

So here is my latest buy, a boker for just under 20 dollars. No chips in the edge, just a lil bit rust and warping on the scales. On the scales its a X made on it but i think i can handsand it out, and there is what seems to be a crack but when i checked it further it hasent gone all the way through so no biggie there. I think this one will come out realy nice when im done with it.

Congrats. Bokers are great shavers once you get a proper edge on them. Enjoy it.

good find.

Should look really nice when your all done. Good find!

Thanks Mrsell63 yeah ive heard so that its always worth to restore a Boker if it is in a decent condition. Thanks bondpunk.. tfrod i sure hope so im having some trouble though on how i should start with the etched side, on how low i can go on the paper grit to get the dirt of it but still keeping the etching. And i misread, the crack goes all the way through the handle but its still whole and i dont realy know if i would want any other scales on this razor. Well im gonna work some more on it today, ill post pics as soon as im done with it. Takre care Gents!

Phew! im finaly done with this razor, pics comming soon. BUT i cant get it to even cut hair! im having serious troubles getting this one shave ready. Any tips?

Looking forward to the pics!

It's a shame that you can't use it yet, but I would recommend reposting any honing questions in the Honing forum, where you will receive much more attention than in Show & Tell

Some of the pitting i just dident care to go to deep on the etching side, and i think it gives the razor some personality so i kept it that way i know the pics arent the best quality but im using my phone so yeah :P
