editorial<br />
Since the publication of our last<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> Barber‘s <strong>Corner</strong> Catalogue<br />
(especially during the pandemicrelated<br />
forced pause of the<br />
barbers) not only an incredible<br />
amount of beard hair has grown,<br />
but once again a lot of blood<br />
and sweat has been put into the<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> novelties of this catalog.<br />
Full of pride we present after<br />
decades of abstinence for the<br />
first time again real broadswords<br />
in the exceptional size 8/8<br />
inch. By the way: inch is not<br />
equal to inch. We, the citizens<br />
of Solingen, are special and<br />
still base our razors on the long<br />
outdated and largely unknown<br />
„Rheinish inch“ (26.2 mm).<br />
In the style of the pithy, almost<br />
massive Sheffield Throat Cut<br />
Razor of the Wilhelminian era,<br />
a truly exceptional knife was<br />
created at the request of Joth<br />
Davies from Sheffield, England.<br />
The bulbous hornbeam handle<br />
with the 8/8 inch wide blade,<br />
which is provided with a filigree<br />
negative etching, does not only<br />
look good in the skilled hands of<br />
the barbers of Savills <strong>Barbers</strong>,<br />
but certainly also in yours.<br />
That barbers still like to reach for<br />
forged razors today is proven once<br />
again by Alexander „Herr“ (Mr.)<br />
Feldmann from Mönchengladbach.<br />
His strictly limited dream razor<br />
will not only cause a sensation<br />
in his home salon, but also in<br />
his mother‘s New York barber<br />
store. Similar to equipping his<br />
razor with Barber‘s Notch and<br />
colorful etching, Mr. Feldmann<br />
spared no expense or effort in<br />
equipping his salon. Barber chairs<br />
from the 1920s, which performed<br />
their most prominent service on<br />
the luxurious German cruise ship<br />
Cap Polonio, and an American<br />
foaming machine show what his<br />
customers can look forward to<br />
in addition to a perfect shave.<br />
Individuality is not only a priority<br />
with the two barbers in this<br />
year‘s Barber Stories, but also<br />
in our Solingen manufactory.<br />
Create your unique dream knife<br />
in our webshop from more than<br />
50.000 variation possibilities<br />
and choose blade size, steel,<br />
finish, handle shape, material and<br />
many more details according to<br />
your personal preferences. Our<br />
knifemakers are looking forward<br />
to your very personal ideas!<br />
Last but not least: The <strong>Boker</strong><br />
Master Cutter Damascus Gold<br />
can without doubt be called<br />
the absolute highlight of this<br />
catalog. Of course, the 8/8<br />
inch wide and completely goldplated<br />
Damascus blade with its<br />
contrasting grain and Barber‘s<br />
Notch immediately catches the<br />
eye. But a glance at the details<br />
reveals the true value of the knife.<br />
The intermediate piece is also<br />
made of gold-plated Damascus<br />
and is visible through an elegant<br />
recess in the desert ironwood<br />
handle. Instead of classic rivets,<br />
decorative screws are also used.<br />

BOKER DAMASCUS STRAIGHT RAZORS 8/8<br />
The widths of razor blades are<br />
traditionally given in eighths<br />
of an inch. So an 8/8“ blade<br />
is about one inch wide and a<br />
4/8“ blade is half an inch.<br />
Different blade widths in<br />
original size<br />
8/8“ BLADE<br />
4/8“ BLADE<br />
The basic shapes of the dies in<br />
which our razors are still forged<br />
today were already made at the<br />
beginning of the 20th century.<br />
This explains why they do not<br />
correspond to the Anglo-Saxon<br />
unit of inch (25.4 mm), but to the<br />
long forgotten „Rhineland inch“<br />
(26.2 mm).<br />
The 5/8“ wide blade is probably<br />
the most common and widely<br />
used razor shape. Narrower<br />
razors with a maximum width of<br />
4/8“ are mainly used by hairdressers<br />
for shaving the neck or<br />
for thinning, because the smaller<br />
blades make it easier to work on<br />
precise inner radii and contours.<br />
A wide blade, on the other hand,<br />
glides more smoothly over the skin<br />
thanks to its weight and can also<br />
hold more soap and beard hairs<br />
before you have to wipe them<br />
off. Quite apart from the functional<br />
differences, the rare broad<br />
blades immediately make the eyes<br />
of every razor enthusiast shine.<br />
At this point we therefore recommend<br />
to all better halves of the<br />
above mentioned enthusiasts:<br />
Better get your loved one‘s wallet<br />
to safety as soon as possible!<br />
1 BOKER MASTER CUTTER<br />
DAMASCUS<br />
A long-cherished wish has finally<br />
come true with the <strong>Boker</strong> Master<br />
Cutter Damascus: an 8/8 inch<br />
wide dream made of damascus.<br />
Even though a lot of time has<br />
passed until the forging of the<br />
first blank, the efforts have been<br />
worthwhile. The mighty blade<br />
with serration on both sides is<br />
equipped with a Barber‘s Notch<br />
and is of course sharpened extra<br />
hollow with ridge on complex<br />
tone. The bulbous handle made of<br />
desert ironwood is, unlike all the<br />
other razors in our range, not classically<br />
riveted, but rather screwed<br />
together decoratively. Desert<br />
ironwood is relatively heavy, very<br />
hard and extremely tenacious.<br />
Because of these characteristics it<br />
is difficult to work with, but at the<br />
same time it is also particularly<br />
durable and weatherproof, which<br />
makes it an ideal material for razor<br />
handles. To match the Barber‘s<br />
Notch of the blade, the handle has<br />
a recess towards the tip of the<br />
blade. This allows a clear view of<br />
the decorative intermediate piece,<br />
which is also made of damascus<br />
in this extraordinary model. With<br />
authentic <strong>Boker</strong> laser engraving in<br />
the blade passage, certificate of<br />
authenticity and elegant floating<br />
display. Handmade in the <strong>Boker</strong><br />

Damascus is strictly limited to<br />
only 20 pieces worldwide. The<br />
entire hardware, consisting of the<br />
8/8 inch wide Damascus blade,<br />
the elaborate screw connection<br />
and the damascus intermediate<br />
piece, is completely gold-plated<br />
and makes the knife an absolute<br />
highlight in our range. With<br />

The Damascus straight razors are<br />
an absolute highlight in the more<br />
than 100-year history of worldwide<br />
renown collection of high<br />
quality straight razors by <strong>Boker</strong>.<br />
The special exclusivity comes<br />
from using powder metallurgical,<br />
stainless Damascus steel from<br />
Sweden. In a very technically<br />
demanding and complex process,<br />
160 layers of Damascus steel are<br />
produced in a sintering process<br />
to create the perfect starting<br />
material for the fine hand-sharpening<br />
of the blades. The traditional<br />
extra-hollow grind and the<br />
exceptionally fine edge harmonizes<br />
the beautiful, extraordinarily<br />
fine grain of the natural Damascus<br />
pattern. The 5/8” wide blade has<br />
a two-sided serration for a safe<br />
grip. <strong>Boker</strong> Damascus straight<br />
razors are completely handmade<br />
in the <strong>Boker</strong> knife manufactory in<br />
Solingen, in a 150-step process.<br />
All razors come complete with<br />
a certificate of authenticity in a<br />
refined presentation display, serial<br />
numbered.<br />
1 BOKER DAMAST EBONY<br />
The dark colour and fine grain of<br />
the precious wood emphasise the<br />
elegance and noble appearance<br />
of this unique piece of craftsmanship.<br />
The valuable, certified<br />
imported ebony is very robust<br />
thanks to its high density and has<br />
a high resistance to ageing, which<br />
makes it a preferred choice not<br />
only for decorative applications.<br />
As an additional decoration, the<br />
historical <strong>Boker</strong> tree emblem is<br />
expertly inserted into the handle, a<br />
craftsmanship that is rarely found<br />
nowadays. The tang is provided<br />
with a serration on both sides.<br />
With authentic <strong>Boker</strong> laser engraving<br />
in the blade passage, certificate<br />
of authenticity and noble<br />
floating display.<br />
ORDER NO. 140609DAM € 419,00<br />
2 BOKER DAMAST BURL BIRCH<br />
The handles of the noble <strong>Boker</strong><br />
Damascus Burl Birch are made<br />
from the wood of the burl birch,<br />
which is native to the far north<br />
of Europe. The already special<br />
grain of this wood, which due to<br />
its special characteristics is often<br />
used for extraordinary models,<br />
is further exposed by the stabilisation<br />
and by the complete<br />
colouring. The modern handle<br />
shape fits perfectly to the 6/8<br />
inch wide blade made of Damascus<br />
steel with French head and<br />
is completed by the fine <strong>Boker</strong><br />
tree emblem, which is inserted<br />
into the handle by hand. With<br />
authentic <strong>Boker</strong> laser engraving<br />
in the blade passage, certificate<br />
of authenticity and noble floating<br />
display.<br />
ORDER NO. 140610DAM € 419,00<br />
3 BOKER DAMAST HORN<br />
Hand-picked horn handles and a<br />
noble 6/8 inch blade made of<br />
stainless damascus make the<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> Damascus Horn a unique<br />
one-of-a-kind. The absolutely<br />
high-quality appearance of the<br />
horn handle is further emphasised<br />
by the use of a third rivet. Due to<br />
its distinctive front cutting end,<br />
the Spanish head is particularly<br />
suitable for particularly precise<br />
shaving and the exact processing<br />
of the beard contour. With<br />
authentic <strong>Boker</strong> laser engraving in<br />

BOKER DAMASCUS STRAIGHT RAZORS 5/8<br />
Even though damascus steels<br />
have long since ceased to be<br />
the preserve of an elite minority,<br />
damascus straight razors<br />
remain an absolute rarity.<br />
With conventional damascus<br />
steels, the extremely thin blade<br />
grinding with wall is a great challenge,<br />
as the material tends to<br />
show nicks and chipping in the<br />
area of the cutting edge if the<br />
layers are not in the right position.<br />
For this reason, we only use<br />
powder-metallurgically produced<br />
stainless Damascus steels from<br />
Sweden for the high-quality<br />
Damascus razors in our range.<br />
In a technically very demanding<br />
and complex process, 160 layers<br />
of Damascus steel are produced<br />
in a sintering process to create a<br />
perfect starting material for the<br />
fine hand sharpening of the blades.<br />
The traditional extra-hollow cut<br />
makes the fine edge sound and<br />
brings out the beautiful and<br />
exceptionally fine grain of the<br />
natural damascus pattern to its<br />
full potential. The 5/8 inch wide<br />
blade has a double-sided serration<br />
of the tang for a secure<br />
grip. The historical blade stamp<br />
is carefully laser engraved into<br />
the fine damascus structure.<br />
The <strong>Boker</strong> Damascus razors are<br />
completely handmade in 150 steps<br />
at the <strong>Boker</strong> knife manufactory in<br />
Solingen. They are delivered with<br />
certificate in a presentation display<br />
and with individual serial number.<br />
1 BOKER DAMASCUS GOLD HORN<br />
The combination of hand-selected<br />
horn handles and a completely<br />
gold-plated 5/8 inch blade made<br />
of stainless damascus makes this<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> razor a unique one-off. The<br />
high quality appearance of the horn<br />
handle is also underlined by the<br />
use of a third rivet. The Damascus<br />
blade is additionally decorated by<br />
the Spanish head. The Spanish<br />
head is particularly suitable for<br />
particularly precise shaving and<br />
the exact processing of the beard<br />
contour due to its distinctive<br />
front cutting end. With authentic<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> laser engraving in the blade<br />
passage, certificate of authenticity<br />
and noble floating display.<br />
2 BOKER DAMASCUS PAUA<br />
The combination of two extraordinary<br />
and unique materials, each<br />
of which has a course as individual<br />
as a fingerprint, is sure to<br />
inspire not only us. The 5/8 inch<br />
wide blade made of Damasteel is<br />
serrated on both sides and, thanks<br />
to the French head, blends harmoniously<br />
into the Paua handle. The<br />
strikingly shimmering shells of<br />
these shellfish are applied to a<br />
carrier material and then cast in<br />
transparent acrylic. With authentic<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> laser engraving on the<br />
blade, certificate of authenticity<br />

BARBER STORY: SAVILLS BARBERS<br />
In the case of Savills <strong>Barbers</strong>, there is<br />
so much to write about the place and<br />
person that we hardly know where to<br />
start. Let‘s start with Sheffield, a city<br />
that is known to have been shaped by<br />
steel like Solingen. Inevitably, the backdrop<br />
of old brick walls and founding<br />
villas reminds us of the BBC‘s gangster<br />
epic „Peaky Blinders“. The barbershop<br />
Savills <strong>Barbers</strong> by Joth Davies contributes<br />
a not insignificant part to this<br />
impression. Here the British tweed is<br />
still worn in a classically elegant way,<br />
without appearing to be a disguise.<br />
At Savills <strong>Barbers</strong> the handcraft is in<br />
the foreground and in the centre point.<br />
LIMITED EditioN<br />
Joth started his training as a hairdresser<br />
and barber in 1988, opened his<br />
first barbershop in 2006 and a second<br />
salon followed just three years later.<br />
When he was finally able to move into<br />
a time-honoured barbershop with ten<br />
chairs and washbasin, he merged the<br />
two previous locations here.<br />
To be able to serve up to ten customers<br />
at a time, Joth personally trained the<br />
appropriate number of barbers. This<br />
is the only way he can ensure that his<br />
excellent employees meet his self-imposed<br />
high professional standards. In<br />
the meantime, he also sets these high<br />
standards for the specially developed<br />
grooming product series Copacetic and<br />
his renowned Barber Academy. While<br />
Copacetic cosmetics and accessories<br />
are the result of professional experience<br />
and perpetuate the elegance of<br />
the Golden Twenties, the Shop and<br />
Academy regularly receive awards at<br />
barber contests.<br />
There are again many good barbers<br />
these days. But the best ones are in<br />
close corporation, who know how to<br />
be found internationally. It is therefore<br />
not surprising that the contact with<br />
Joth was established through Leen<br />
and Bertus, the Schorem barbers from<br />
Rotterdam. For the <strong>Boker</strong> Barber Story<br />
razor, it was especially important for<br />
Joth to orientate himself closely to the<br />
world-famous massive, pithy Sheffield<br />
Throat Cut Razors of the Wilhelminian<br />
period, in addition to his professional<br />
preferences.<br />

1 BOKER CAMELLIA OIL<br />
This high quality, pure camellia oil<br />
is made according to a traditional<br />
Chinese recipe, and has many<br />
uses. The thin oil is extracted<br />
from the seed of the camellia<br />
tree, is taste neutral, odorless,<br />
and does not dry. The camellia oil<br />
is food safe and impresses with its<br />
special purity.<br />
Corrosion protection<br />
The acid-free, non-resinous,<br />
and non-evaporating camellia oil<br />
is traditionally used to protect<br />
from corrosion in the care of high<br />
quality knife blades made from<br />
carbon steel, as well as tools and<br />
weapons. It is purely organic and<br />
perfect for preserving non-stainless<br />
kitchen knives and straight<br />
razors as – in contrast to other<br />
care oils – does not form an emulsion<br />
with water.<br />
Wood protection<br />
The low-viscosity oil quickly<br />
absorbs into the wood and<br />
protects from moisture, dirt, and<br />
UV radiation. Camellia oil is clear,<br />
does not discolor the wood, and<br />
brings out the grain beautifully.<br />
Outstanding for the care of high<br />
quality straight razor handles and<br />
kitchen knife handles made from<br />
fine woods. Content 100 ml.<br />

2 BOKER 14ER<br />
While forged razors and the<br />
classic wet shave are experiencing<br />
a renaissance, genuine broadswords<br />
are still rare. For the first<br />
time in decades, perhaps even<br />
centuries, 8/8 inch wide razors are<br />
back in our range. In times when<br />
the mighty blades were even more<br />
common, 8/8 inch wide razors<br />
with straight heads were called<br />
14s. This marking was stamped<br />
into the tang of the blade before<br />
the forged blades were hardened.<br />
We did not miss this special<br />
feature and also implemented it in<br />
our Böker 14. The 8/8 inch wide<br />
blade not only bears a historical<br />
blade etching with partial gilding,<br />
but also a gilded blade back and<br />
tang, which is elegantly decorated<br />
by a filigree and detailed laser<br />
engraving. The complete polishing<br />
of the blade and the serration on<br />
both sides of the tang round off<br />
the features of this knife.<br />
We have also used historical<br />
models as a basis for the material<br />
used for the handle. The handle<br />
made of dark, slightly transparent<br />
acrylic blends harmoniously<br />
into the overall picture due to the<br />
subtle brass inlay. With authentic<br />

of the Bergisches Land region, the<br />
castle Burg an der Wupper. It is<br />
also one of the largest castles in<br />
western Germany, and the largest<br />
reconstructed castle in the state<br />
of North Rhine-Westphalia. The<br />
famous history of Castle Burg is<br />
inseparably linked to the Duchy<br />
Berg and the Count of Berg (Haus<br />
Berg, 1068-1225).<br />
On this occasion we decided to<br />
dedicate a series of straight razors<br />
to the three counts of Berg, which<br />
symbolizes parts of their lives.<br />
This tribute is reminiscent of the<br />
remarkable property and influence<br />
of the counts with impressive<br />
adornments made from 24-karat<br />
gold. Adolf II, Count of Berg, built<br />
the new castle (”Novus Mons,“<br />
today known as Castle Burg) at<br />
the Wupper, erected on top of<br />
a preceding for tress from the<br />
10th century. The influence and<br />
wealth of Count Adolf II of Berg<br />
in the Rheinland-Westfalen region<br />
was tremendous. In those days,<br />
it was commonplace to split the<br />
inheritance among the six sons<br />
of Adolf. However, this represented<br />
a problem for the house<br />
of Berg, since this division would<br />
reduce the value and cost the<br />
Berg dynasty its influence. Since<br />
his eldest son (also Adolf) had<br />
already died in 1148 at Damascus<br />
during the Second Crusade, his<br />
sons Friedrich and Bruno entered<br />
into the clergy, and his youngest<br />
son Adolf was excluded from the<br />
inheritance due to his young age.<br />
In 1160, the Bergish realm was<br />
split between Adolf’s sons Everhard<br />
and Engelbert.<br />
EVERHARD, COUNT OF THE MARK<br />
Everhard, older than Engelbert,<br />
received the Westphalian<br />
possessions with the castles<br />
Altena and Hovel, and the abbeys<br />
Werden, Essen, and Cappenberg.<br />
This shows that for Adolf II, the<br />
Rhine-Franconia possessions<br />
were likely of lower value<br />
compared to the Westphalian.<br />
Everhard founded the Altenaer<br />
line - his descendants later called<br />
themselves Counts of the Mark.<br />
ADOLF III, COUNT OF BERG<br />
Engelbert I of Berg received<br />
the Rhine-Franconia inheritance<br />
and continued the name Berg<br />
in his family. The center of his<br />
domain was the castle Burg an<br />
der Wupper, which was built by<br />
his father (Adolf II). Engelbert<br />
I died in 1189 during the Third<br />
Crusade. His oldest son, Adolf III,<br />
succeeded him as Count of Berg.<br />
His reign fell on a period of warring<br />
conflicts, which led to his participation<br />
in the Crusades. Adolf went<br />
to the Holy Land during the Fifth<br />
Crusade in 1218, and died from an<br />
epidemic on August 7 of that year,<br />
as Commander of the Rhine and<br />
Friesian siege troops at Damiette<br />
in the Nile Delta. He had no son,<br />
therefore the Altena-Berg branch<br />
ceased.<br />
ENGELBERT II, COUNT OF BERG<br />
After the death of Adolf III, the<br />
House of Limburg, into which<br />
Adolf ‚s daughter Irmgard had<br />
married, staked its claim to the<br />
entire Bergish estate. While the<br />
daughter of Adolf III was entitled<br />
to an inheritance even in that<br />
time, Engelbert II, the brother of<br />
Adolf III, claimed the inheritance<br />
for himself. The resulting dispute<br />
was not settled in a legal process,<br />
but by violence over the course of<br />
two feuds. Engelbert rejected the<br />
Limburg claim through the force<br />
of arms and took over the rule<br />
of the County Berg as Engelbert<br />
II. Engelbert II, Count of Berg,<br />
later called ”The Holy,” was also<br />
known as Engelbert I, Archbishop<br />
of Cologne. With his murder in<br />
1225, the Bergish counts in this<br />
line came to an end, as the male<br />
line of the Bergish counts ended<br />
with the death of Engelbert II.<br />
As a result, Berg went to House<br />
Limburg, which was thus finally<br />
able to assert its inheritance claim.

BOKER ABALONE & PAUA<br />
The <strong>Boker</strong> Abalone combines<br />
extraordinary design and outstanding<br />
performance. The die-forged<br />
blade of this exceptional straight<br />
razor consists of carbon steel<br />
O1 (1.2510) hardened to 59-61<br />
HRC. Thanks to its superior<br />
characteristics and excellent edge<br />
retention, this carbon steel is<br />
the perfect material for premium<br />
straight razors.<br />
Apart from classic materials that<br />
have been defining the popular<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> Straight Razor for decades,<br />
we are always looking for modern<br />
and innovative natural material<br />
combinations offering a special<br />
look or feel that our customers<br />
will love. White gold, sea snails<br />
or sea ears are just some other<br />
names of the abalone.<br />
These mollusks live off the coasts<br />
of Australia, New Zealand, Japan,<br />
China, Mexico and South Africa,<br />
attaching themselves to rocks just<br />
a few meters below the surface.<br />
As a great delicacy, they are desirable<br />
enough to have caused entire<br />
gang wars in the past. Today,<br />
the precious natural product is<br />
raised in water farms. The beautiful<br />
shells with their almost artificial<br />
looking shimmer have always<br />
been used as decoration, implements<br />
or material for jewelry,<br />
intarsia or mother-of-pearl clips.<br />
Employing cutting-edge production<br />
methods, a wafer-thin layer<br />
of colorful abalone is applied to<br />
a carrier and encased in transparent<br />
acrylic. The resulting durable<br />
material is perfect for making<br />
straight razor handles, enriching<br />
the piece with unusual colors and<br />
a three-dimensional look.<br />
Paua are shellfishs of the abalone<br />
genus, but unlike abalones they are<br />
only found in the unspoilt nature<br />
of New Zealand‘s coastal waters.<br />
They have been used by the Maori<br />
for many centuries as traditional<br />
body ornaments and are still used<br />
today as decorations for figures,<br />
weapons and meeting houses.<br />
The impressive handles are absolutely<br />
unique in color and pattern<br />
and for the first time in this place,<br />
they characterize the range of<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> straight razors.<br />
By using the most modern production<br />
methods, a wafer-thin layer of<br />
colorful abalone or paua is applied<br />
to a carrier material and overmoulded<br />
with transparent acrylic.<br />
The very resistant material obtained<br />
in this way is ideally suited<br />
for the production of razor handles<br />
and impresses with its extraordinary<br />
play of colors and three-dimensional<br />
appearance.<br />
All razors of this series are<br />
equipped with a serration on both<br />
sides and are of course ground<br />
extra hollow with a wall (sound).<br />
The authentic <strong>Boker</strong> stamp in<br />
the blade passage is already<br />
driven in before the blade is<br />
hardened and thus marks each<br />
of our Solingen quality products.<br />
The delivery includes a certificate<br />

BARBER STORY: HERR FELDMANN<br />
Differently than the name could let<br />
it assume, the pilgrimage place for<br />
followers of the skillful beard care<br />
in the Marienhof passage in Moenchengladbach<br />
has nothing to do with<br />
a Marienerscheinung. The creator<br />
of this secular place of pilgrimage<br />
is Alexander „Herr“ Feldmann, who<br />
effortlessly succeeds in once again<br />
clearly standing out within the colorful<br />
and versatile barber scene.<br />
Already the straightforward, sober<br />
appearance of the name „Herr Feldmann<br />
| Barber - Hairdresser - Second<br />
Hair“ reveals that Alexander Feldmann<br />
somehow grasps his profession<br />
differently and even more broadly<br />
than his professional colleagues.<br />
This perceptible difference has developed<br />
completely out of his craft,<br />
because his parents have both always<br />
been hairdressers. His mother still<br />
runs a popular barbershop in New<br />
York, where he was also allowed<br />
to learn the basics of his trade. He<br />
regularly visits her in the States, of<br />
course also to exchange professional<br />
experiences. And gradually it is no<br />
longer clear at first glance from which<br />
direction trends and techniques are<br />
changing across the Atlantic.<br />
Unlike most barbers, Mr. Feldmann<br />
naturally uses only traditionally manufactured<br />
razors and no interchangeable<br />
blades for a wet shave. He<br />
carefully prepares the skin for this<br />
in several steps. First a treatment<br />
with shaving oil follows, then a hot<br />
compress is applied to the face.<br />
Then a high-quality shaving cream is<br />
applied, which is then covered with<br />
heated shaving foam from a foaming<br />
machine specially purchased in the<br />
USA.<br />
The customer experiences the careful<br />
shave with elaborate preparation on<br />
one of the two Barber Chairs manufactured<br />
in Chicago in the Golden<br />
Twenties, which performed their<br />
most prominent service on the luxury<br />
German cruise ship Cap Polonio.<br />
This type of classic shaving is only<br />
possible thanks to the consistently<br />
implemented hygiene concept. The<br />
disinfection of all tools after each<br />
customer and the weekly hygiene<br />
briefings that Alexander Feldmann<br />
and his staff have always held are all<br />
the more important, especially in the<br />
era of COVID-19.<br />

of the historic <strong>Boker</strong> Straight Razor<br />
production since the 1920s. Even<br />
today we and a few lucky collectors<br />

Straight Razor. In many painstaking<br />
steps, the blade is ground extra<br />

sound. Incl. authentic <strong>Boker</strong> stamp<br />

3 BOKER SCHWARZGOLD<br />
With our elegant razor <strong>Boker</strong><br />
Schwarzgold with black ruthenium<br />
coating on the base of a complete<br />
24-carat gold plating, we would like<br />
to remind you of the extraordinary<br />
racing mare Schwarzgold (Black<br />
Gold). In order to do uncompromising<br />
justice to the elegance and<br />
sovereignty of the mare in the knife<br />
dedicated to her, we had to come up<br />
with a number of ideas.<br />
Finally we came to the solution to<br />
completely coat the extra hollow<br />
and wall ground blade with gold in<br />
the first step. This is the only surface<br />
on which the ruthenium coating,<br />
applied using the negative process,<br />
adheres optimally and obtains its<br />
incomparable anthracite color and<br />
silky sheen. Ruthenium is a chemical<br />
element with the element symbol Ru<br />
and atomic number 44. It is an extremely<br />
hard platinum metal that is<br />
used only very rarely. It is therefore<br />
congruent with the exceptional<br />
character of the razor‘s namesake.<br />
The handle material used is just as<br />
consistently noble. The selected and<br />
proverbial black ebony wood takes<br />
up the charming color combination<br />
of the blade and is worthy of the<br />
outstanding quality of the entire<br />
knife. Including certificate of authenticity<br />
and presentation display.<br />

CONSTRUCTION AND MANUFACTURING<br />
Despite all industrial progress<br />
since the foundation of the <strong>Boker</strong><br />
Manufactory in 1869, some historic<br />
production methods are still used<br />
for making a <strong>Boker</strong> straight razor.<br />
We definitely preserved the passion,<br />
experience and perfection in choosing<br />
our materials and executing<br />
each of the production steps we<br />
would like to explain to you here.<br />
We exclusively grind our straight<br />
razor blades extra hollow with belly.<br />
The belly lies in front of the strong<br />
in the world that have mastered<br />
this ultimate skill in straight razor<br />
production.<br />
The scales department manually<br />
assembles nickel silver pins,<br />
washers, and spacers to the<br />
blades. Wood and stag require<br />
special dexterity, as these natural<br />
materials can tear when too much<br />
pressure is applied.<br />
At the forge, the basic material is a<br />
round rod cut to length to create the<br />
so-called cropped piece. The splitter<br />
is heated until red hot, and drop<br />
forged with a 1,500 lb rammer. Next,<br />
the slugs have to cool to 392° F for<br />
two days in an annealing furnace.<br />
hollow section and just behind the<br />
edge, which has a small hollow<br />
grind itself. The belly is the only way<br />
in which the blades can be ground<br />
out so thin and still retain sufficient<br />
stiffness, despite their flexibility.<br />
There are only a handful of the<br />
best and most specialized grinders<br />
The slugs are once again straightened<br />
in a 200-ton press, before<br />
going to the hardening shop. By<br />
thermic treatment the perfect combination<br />
of edge-holding property and<br />
flexibility of the steel is created.<br />
In the grinding shop, the extra<br />
hollow grind with belly is created.<br />
The slugs are ground in 18 individual<br />
steps, from rough grinding, to<br />
milling, to glazing.<br />
Finally, the blade is honed by hand<br />
on several bench whetstones with<br />
increasingly finer grits. After the<br />
final stropping, the sharpness of<br />
the straight razor is tested on a<br />
freely suspended human hair.

Even if the narrow 4/8 inch blades<br />
cannot quite keep up with the<br />
mighty appearance of a broadsword,<br />
they enjoy their unlimited right to<br />
exist. The slender blades always<br />
allow an unobstructed view of the<br />
face to be shaved and can also<br />
be safely inserted between nose<br />
and lip. Although the blade absorbs<br />
a little less foam than its bigger<br />
brothers, inner radii and contours<br />
can be worked on more easily and<br />
precisely.<br />

Small but nice, this also applies to<br />
the <strong>Boker</strong> Tiny Razor. This extremely<br />
handy model with a 4/8 inch<br />

hollow with a ridge. In addition<br />
to the blade, the easy-grip handle<br />
made of blue G10, which forms a<br />
harmonious contrast to the white<br />
intermediate piece, is also very<br />

2 BOKER WIENER SCHABER<br />
The Wiener Schaber („scraper“)<br />
from Vienna is a special Straight<br />
Razor shape which usually comes as<br />
a 4/8“ blade and which thrills with<br />
its especially elegant and flowing<br />
lines. In the men‘s salons of the<br />
first half of the 20th century, it was<br />
mainly used to touch up contours<br />
and to shave the neck. But the delicate<br />
Wiener Schaber is also great<br />
for everyday shaving. The short<br />
blade with French Point is characteristic<br />
for it. Its edge transitions into<br />
the tang in a gentle arch, giving the<br />
Wiener Schaber its very elegant<br />
appearance. Incl. certificate of<br />

<strong>Boker</strong> Barberette<br />
The <strong>Boker</strong> Barberette stylishly<br />
unifies the benefits of a forged<br />
straight razor with those of a safety<br />
razor. The handling is comparable<br />
to that of a straight razor, but there<br />
is no need to clean and strop it,<br />
since the replaceable razors can<br />
simply be changed.<br />
The newly designed <strong>Boker</strong><br />
interchangeable blade straight razor<br />
is not only very popular among<br />
wet shaving fans, travelers, and<br />
professional barbers and hair<br />
dressers, but can also be found<br />
in bathrooms at home as a low<br />
maintenance and comfortable,<br />
versatile companion.<br />
Especially barbers like to use the<br />
uncomplicated replaceable blades<br />
in hectic business operations due<br />
to hygiene regulations, rather than<br />
disinfecting straight razors the<br />
traditional way.<br />
The <strong>Boker</strong> interchangeable blade<br />
straight razor has the same<br />
geometry and size of our forged<br />
straight razors.<br />
Thanks to the grooved synthetic<br />
surface, it provides a safe grip<br />
for fingers at all times. The blade<br />
receptacle is made from stainless<br />
steel and moisture resistant<br />
synthetic and is designed to allow<br />
the use of both the ubiquitous<br />
43mm standard blades for classic<br />
safety razors (double edge) and the<br />
65mm long standard blades. Before<br />
inserting, double edge razor blades<br />
are carefully broken in the middle.<br />
The handles follow that of forged<br />
straight razors made by the <strong>Boker</strong><br />
manufactory, and leave nothing to<br />
be desired. Delivered in a historical<br />
packaging including one double<br />
edged razor blade.<br />
1 BOKER BARBERETTE BLACK<br />
AND RED<br />
The unusual handle made of carbon<br />

at home.<br />
But don‘t worry, shaving with<br />
the <strong>Boker</strong> Barbarette Black &<br />
Red doesn‘t take a hundredth of<br />
a second, even if it effortlessly<br />
masters even the most difficult<br />
(facial) passages as if it were<br />
actually an F1 bolide.<br />
To avoid bloody tracks on the race<br />
track, you can choose between<br />
43 mm and 65 mm long Double<br />
Edge standard blades according<br />
to your preferences. Supplied in<br />

Along with the established <strong>Boker</strong><br />
Barberettes with a plastic blade<br />
receptacle that we already offer,<br />
many barbers have been asking for<br />
a straight razor knife with a stainless<br />
steel receptacle.<br />

Barberettes is designed to<br />
accommodate a half Double Edge<br />
(43 mm standard blade) and hold it<br />
securely between the two stainless<br />
steel parts.<br />
This system has been used by<br />
professional barbers and hairdressers<br />
for many years before we optimized<br />
it.<br />
The geometry and size of the<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> Pro Barberette follows that<br />
of the premium-quality forged<br />
straight razors made by the <strong>Boker</strong><br />
Manufactory Solingen. The bottom<br />
of the tang has a fine serration,<br />
offering a secure grip even when<br />
wet.<br />
In order to improve opening the<br />
two blade halves, the round point<br />
is tapered inward on both sides.<br />
When the clamp is removed, the<br />
two halves can be easily pushed<br />
against each other by means of<br />
the round point. Precise riveting<br />
and superior craftsmanship ensure<br />
precise function and a long life even<br />
with heavy use.<br />
The <strong>Boker</strong> Pro Barberette combines<br />
professional functionality, a familiar<br />
grip and balance and the authentic<br />
aesthetics of a classic straight razor.<br />
If you are just starting out, it is<br />
an alternative to a forged straight<br />
razor at a lower price point. Before<br />
inserting, the double blades need to<br />
be carefully broken in half. Comes<br />
with historic packaging and a doubleedged<br />
blade.<br />

BLACK<br />
Shortly after the introduction of<br />
the popular <strong>Boker</strong> Pro Barberette<br />
the wish for a long version arose,<br />
where the blade holder is especially<br />
designed for 65 mm long<br />
standard blades. Even though<br />
the full blade width is certainly<br />
not necessary for shaving tricky<br />
facial areas or contours, the long<br />
blade comes closest to shaving<br />
with a forged razor. Similar to its<br />
little brother, the blade is fixed<br />
between two stainless steel<br />
halves by means of holding points.<br />

1 BOKER FLATCAP<br />
Originally designed as a streamlined<br />
head covering for gentleman drivers<br />
of the first automobiles, this classic<br />
quickly became a fashion statement<br />
in favor of progress. Today, it is more<br />
than just part of the dress code for<br />
society hunts on the British Isles.<br />
Gentlemen are allowed to wear them<br />
outside of Irish pubs. Hollywood<br />
stars took care of it.<br />
100% cotton in a classic black and<br />
white salt-and-pepper tweed. Adjustable<br />

of various sizes. Subtle leather<br />

2 BOKER CHROME STAND FOR RAZOR<br />

only an attractive but also a safe presentation,<br />
so that the noble and extremely<br />
thinly ground blades of our razors are not<br />

often that a razor falling to the ground was<br />
caught in the heat of the moment with the<br />
hands and caused deepest cuts. The high<br />
quality and chrome-plated <strong>Boker</strong> razor<br />
stand (all-metal construction) for the safe<br />
and attractive storage of razors in the size<br />
4/8“ to 8/8“ provides a remedy.<br />
