Boker Finest India Steel

I can't resist vintage Bokers, never had one that would not take a fine edge. Brought this one home today. I'll clean her up and give it a honing tomorrow. Looks like a new ride for the Sunday shave.

I love covered tangs.. 

Enjoy the shave!

Nice find, Bob.

Thanks fellas. She has had here clean up as best as I can do. Will hone her in the morning.

She has comfortable, luxurious shave written all over her.

I love Bokers - they're consistently excellent shavers. That is a really pretty one! Congrats!

Be sure and post a picture of our freshly honed and cleaned razor.

Sweet! I love those old Bokers, too. Looking forward to your follow up photos and hearing how she shaves!

Gorgeous tang ! I have a similar Boker but its tang is "normal" :



An excellent shaver !

That is the best I can do with my limited skill set. The scales are now off and am waiting for a set of new replacement scales. The originals had a poorly repaired crack at the wedge pin on the off side. That was driving nuts even though it was secure just looked awful.

Bob, looking good.

Sweet...

A very nice find for sure! They are almost always of the finest steel and tempering. Enjoy!
