ELBECO was a trademark owned by Heinrich Böker & Co, one of the larger razor manufacturing outfits, so this is another Solingen razor that had links with the well known Boker brand, still operational and very prominent to this day.
The scales were done for, so we 'aged' some Kudu horn bone scales to a point where it suits the vintage bone on the tang, I think I was quite lucky to get a fairly good match the give this razor a very distinct, well aged and unique look.
This razor weighs 40 grams and has a spine thickness of 4.2 mm, blade height of 16 mm or 5/8ths that delivers a bevel angle of 15 degrees, the bevel is clean and crisp, this blade has not seen a lot of use, despite its age.
*Vintage/rat razors are priced according to model and availability, time spent cleaning and reconditioning them, and also time spent getting the edge into a shave ready condition (some are preserved as is, or sold as is for the new owner to sharpen) Please enquire if you need additional work done to this razor prior to purchase.
All straight razors will require a stropping on leather after its first use. Pics are unedited (for detail) and provide a true image of the condition of the razor.
This razor is shave ready and good to use 'out the box'
