Thanked: 0Is this razor worth restoring for regular use?
I recently came into possession of a H. Boker & Co razor. The blade was made in Germany and has "Unrivalled Hollow Ground" etched on the face of the blade. The scales are black plastic. The woman I acquired it from said it was her dad's (who was a barber back in the day). It has quite a bit of tarnish and some rust. It is in desperate need of a sharpening too. Any thoughts on the quality of H. Boker & Co?

Thanked: 0I'll have to get on that tonight
I'm still at work so I'm not exactly able to post pictures. I just came into possession of it today at work so I got a little over excited and posted before I got pictures

Yes, please post some pics and in addition, check out the Boker razor club where you'll probably see a picture of one similar or identical to yours:

EDIT: There are a ton of posts in that thread and fortunately I found one pretty early on page 6:

my boker good as gold is my all time favorite shaver... too bad it got stolen. I would think that I'd try all of my tricks to try to bring any boker back to life. Good luck

Thanked: 1936I've got several that are great to shave with, two of which I brought back to life. I don't think I have ever heard a valid negative comment about them. If I can bring one back to life, you shouldn't have much a problem either.

I have two of them. I love them both. They are good shavers.
