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outdated and largely unknown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 />

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 />

BOKER DAMASCUS STRAIGHT RAZORS 6/8<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 />

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 <strong>Boker</strong> Manufactory<br />

in Solingen, we find the hallmark<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 />

of authenticity and comes in historical<br />

packaging. Handmade in the<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

fibre with red liners, in combination<br />

with the black coated blade holder,<br />

brings racing flair to the bathroom<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 />

Barberettes is designed to<br />

accommodate a half Double Edge<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 />

strap with lock bar for heads<br />

of various sizes. Subtle leather<br />

appliqué with the tree logo.<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 />

Available from November <strong>2020</strong>.<br />

8 mm inner diameter. Width 10.7 cm.<br />
