Bohin Reversible base plate razor

[Jake]

Nice to have this interesting razor and the window display that helped sell this unique shaver.

The base plate reverses in order to provide a more or less aggressive shave. Not obvious from the window display poster.

One of my favorite rasoirs. The design is beautiful, dated and timeless all at the same time. The advertising is wonderful.

Here’s mine with a green case:

Beautiful set. I never saw that case before. Great color!

I love the round set, but ended up with this one instead... somehow it flew under the radar and I got it for a really good price. Needless to say, the seller was quite disappointed.

Did you get this set and the advertising from the same seller? I had been watching these for sometime.

Congrats to all Bohin owners. I want to join you but haven't been able to snag one at the right price/condition. Maybe one day.

Ya. He was a bit disappointed. This mint set that replaced that one cheered him up a bit though. Glad you are enjoying it still!

Excellent set Jake!

One of the most elegant designs I have seen.

If Fatip could merge the Grande and the Gentile plate like this...

You have some of the most interesting razors around on B&B, that was a razor ahead of its time, adjustable razor for mild to aggressive with the flip of the head. The Rockwell 6c comes to mind and a few others.

The Rockwell doesn't look as nice. I own one, not dissing the Rockwell. But as a Rockwell owner I still want a Bohin. Wish the gang at Rockwell would have reproduced it. Still could!

Indeed interesting that Rockwell was able to obtain a utility patent for an 80 year old technology.

As an aside, the 1930s French adverts are the absolute best.

Jake must stay up at night hunting down these unique razors! Very nice, gents.

You can find a couple now in Ebay France, but the prices are quite high.

That's is the problem.

In addition, I am sure I would have a problem with my wife if a small package arrives from France and it contains a razor!

Maybe a parfume included in that package could help.
