150 YEARS OF REAL CRAFTS- 

MANSHIP! 

Since 1869, the famous straight 

razors with the internationally 

renowned Boker tree logo have 

been handcrafted in Solingen, City 

of Blades. We are very proud to 

be able to look back on the – at 

times very eventful – history of 

our company over the course of 

15 decades. And we also consider 

it our duty to remain true to our 

philosophy. The balanced mix of 

traditional knives and the value 

we place on craftsmanship at our 

Solingen Manufactory, the great 

vertical production range and our 

eye for detail as well as innovative 

and trailblazing projects using 

cutting-edge technology and new 

materials enable us to cater to a 

very wide spectrum of knife lovers 

and users. 

The positive feedback we receive 

from our international customers 

shows us that we are on the 

right track. Of course, we would 

like to share our noteworthy anniversary 

with all our customers 

and fans. Therefore, we would 

like to present to you an exclusive 

small series with two anniversary 

models limited to 75 pieces worldwide. 

The 6/8“ Damascus blade 

with a straight edge is made from 

Swedish Damasteel, combining 

excellent performance with a 

unique look. For a special highlight, 

the blade of the Boker Anniversary 

150 Damascus Gold is 

fully gold-plated. 

Jerome, nicknamed by friends 

Barber-J in his youth, made a 

name for himself in the barber 

scene, but not because of his 

striking, colorful tattoos. As world 

champion and American Crew 

All-Star, the trained men‘s hairstylist 

from the tranquil city of Mainz 

rose to renown as one of the 

stars of the industry, who is often 

booked internationally for shows 

and workshops. In the course of 

one of our Barber Stories, we 

worked with him to create an 

extraordinary limited edition 

straight razor. 

This edition has a lot of international 

flair: we are presenting our 

first cooperation with Loire valley 

native Emmanuel Renaud, the 

Frenchman behind the well-known 

„Mister Kutter“ barber shops. 

He owns four barber shops and 

is set to open the „Kutter School 

Academy“. We were able to take a 

fascinating look behind the scenes 

and partnered with him to create a 

truly exceptional straight razor: a 

French point (obviously), a curved 

Wenge handle and a massive 7/8“ 

blade – a very attractive piece for 

collectors and knife fans. 

With the new issue of Boker 

Barbers Corner, we hope that all 

lovers of traditional razors and 

sophisticated style will enjoy 

reading, browsing, learning and 

discussing. 

Best wishes from Solingen, City 

of Blades.

BOKER ANNIVERSARY 150 

150 years of Boker Knives! That 

is definitely a very good reason to 

celebrate. Since 1869, the famous 

knives with the world-famous 

Boker tree mark have been manufactured 

by hand in Solingen, the 

city of blades. Already in the founding 

years the high-quality razors 

belonged to the Boker product 

range and look back on a long 

history. Of course we would like 

to share this memorable anniversary 

with all our customers 

and fans, therefore we present 

you here a small series with two 

limited anniversary models. 

The 6/8“ damascus blades of 

these exclusive straight razors are 

made of Swedish Damascus. In 

this special form of industrially 

produced damascus, powdermetallurgical 

steels are joined during 

the production process to form 

a genuine damascus steel. This 

manufacturing process combines 

the advantages of powder-metallurgical 

steels with the fascinating 

appearance of Damascus 

and is characterized by a particularly 

fine and above all uniform 

microstructure with its high 

cutting durability and pronounced 

corrosion resistance. 

Both straight razors come 

complete in a presentation box 

with a certificate of authenticity 

and are serial numbered. 

1 BOKER ANNIVERSARY 150 

DAMASCUS 

The 6/8“ blade of the Damascus 

knife – an Anniversary Edition 

strictly limited to 75 pieces – is 

made from Swedish Damasteel. A 

finely serrated edge on the top of 

the tang adds visual interest. The 

typical straight spine and curved 

shape of this blade – carefully 

ground to sing – create a perfect 

harmony with the elegant square 

point. The handle is milled from 

dyed curly birch and mounted 

by hand. The handle is skillfully 

inlaid with a tree plaque reading 

„150 Jahre“ (150 years) to 

commemorate the anniversary. 

Comes with a premium-quality 

goatskin sheath (Page 42).

2 BOKER ANNIVERSARY 150 

DAMASCUS GOLD 

A special highlight of this mode 

is the fully gold-plated 6/8“ wide 

Damascus blade with a straight 

spine. The plating creates a 

beautiful and elegant contrast to 

the delicate Damascus texture. 

The blade‘s Spanish point 

highlights the exquisite look and 

gives an unimpeded view while 

shaving. Each knife features 

historic scaling: as you know, the 

Boker tree logo goes back to the 

huge chestnut tree that used to 

grow on our very first company 

premises. Although that chestnut 

was cut down by a thunderstorm 

in the early 20th century, the 

smoked chestnut wood of the 

handle scales harkens back to 

the roots of the famous logo, 

giving every knife in this series a 

unique, inimitable look. A special 

anniversary emblem in the handle 

scale creates an elegant accent. 

The knives are handcrafted in our 

Solingen manufactory in a strictly 

limited worldwide edition of 75 

pieces. Comes with a premiumquality 

goatskin sheath (Page 42).

BOKER DAMASCUS STRAIGHT RAZORS 

The Damascus straight razors are 

an absolute highlight in the more 

than 100-year history of worldwide 

renown collection of high 

quality straight razors by Boker. 

The special exclusivity comes 

from using powder metallurgical, 

stainless Damascus steel from 

Sweden. In a very technically 

demanding and complex process, 

180 layers of Damascus steel are 

produced in a sintering process 

to create the perfect starting 

material for the fine hand-sharpening 

of the blades. The traditional 

extra-hollow grind and the 

exceptionally fine edge harmonizes 

the beautiful, extraordinarily 

fine grain of the natural Damascus 

pattern. The 5/8” wide blade has 

a two-sided serration for a safe 

grip. Boker Damascus straight 

razors are completely handmade 

in the Boker knife manufactory in 

Solingen, in a 150-step process. 

All razors come complete with 

a certificate of authenticity in a 

refined presentation display, serial 

numbered. 

1 BOKER DAMASCUS HORN 

The hand selected horn handle 

scales of this Boker Damascus 

straight razor in combination 

with the refined, stainless 5/8” 

Damascus blade make it truly 

unique. The high quality look 

of the elegant horn handle is 

complemented by the use of a 

third pin. The Damascus blade 

features a Spanish head, which 

is especially suitable for precise 

shaving and contouring, due to its 

well defined front edge. 

2 BOKER DAMASCUS EBONY 

The dark color and fine grain of 

the refined wood emphasize the 

elegance and noble look of this 

unique piece of artistry. This 

valuable fine wood is very dense, 

very sturdy, and highly resistant to 

aging, which makes it a preferred 

choice not only for decorative 

effect. As an additional highlight, 

the historic Boker tree logo is 

expertly inserted into the handle 

scales, a craft that is hard to find 

these days. The tang is serrated 

on both sides. 

3 BOKER DAMASCUS CARBON 

The Boker Knife Manufactory 

is well known for working with 

innovative materials. This 

modern straight razor combines a 

metallurgically produced 180-layer 

stainless Damascus blade with 

handle scales of genuine carbon 

fiber. This high-tech material is 

CNC-milled from solid material. 

The delicate pattern of the 

Damascus creates a harmony with 

the light, hand-contoured carbon 

handle. The edge ends in a classic 

round point.

SHAVING WITH A 

FORGED BLADE 

I. PREPARATION OF SKIN AND 

BEARD HAIR 

Before shaving, skin and beard 

hair must be prepared carefully. 

This protects both the skin and 

the blade at the same time. 

For this purpose, it is best to 

shave right after a hot shower 

or apply a hot, wet towel to 

one‘s face for several minutes. 

„Stropping & Care“ (see page 44), 

on a suspended or mounted strop. 

III. SHAVING WITH THE GRAIN 

It may be necessary now to 

reapply soap with the wet brush. 

The foam has to be kept wet for 

the duration of the entire shave. 

The handle of the razor is folded 

back so that the blade is exposed 

method they have used up to now. 

With more practice and skill, they 

can slowly expand the shave to 

the other areas of the face. 

CAUTION: The elbow stands wide 

apart and not in the center of your 

own attention. If you bump into 

something with the elbow you will 

often get a painful cut. 

Then splash the skin with warm 

water. If desired, the skin can also 

be treated with shaving oil before 

the water. Next, apply the thickly 

beaten foam with the brush. The 

soap should be left on for at least 

2 minutes. 

II. PREPARING THE RAZOR 

While the shaving soap softens 

the beard, there is enough 

time to strop the straight razor, 

as described in the chapter 

and forms roughly a right angle 

with the handle. The handle is 

wedged between middle and ring 

finger and points away from the 

back of the hand. Now push the 

blade over the skin along the grain 

– the direction in which the beard 

grows – with gentle pressure. The 

angle should lie between 20° and 

45°, the exact value depends on 

feeling and experience. Beginners 

should first shave the “easy” 

parts, like cheeks, and shave the 

rest of their face with the shaving 

IV. SHAVING AGAINST THE 

GRAIN 

After shaving with the grain, you 

can change the shaving direction to 

against the grain for a deeper and 

more thorough shave if desired, 

and if your skin can handle it. 

To do so, wet the skin again and 

apply soap. 

V. AFTER CARE OF SKIN AND 

RAZOR 

After the shave, first rinse skin 

with cold, clear water. This closes 

the pores of the skin and any 

small cuts. The razor is dried and 

oiled as described in the chapter 

“Care & Stropping” (see page 44). 

Depending on your preference, 

you can apply an aftershave or 

facial lotion.

PEARL SCALE TANG 

1 PEARL SCALE TANG 6/8 

In the good old days, even serial-manufactured 

goods for 

everyday use put a premium 

on little details and an overall 

aesthetic approach. Today, this 

beautiful virtue has mainly fallen 

victim to cost-cutting and a fastpaced 

society. Only a few are 

unreasonable enough to ignore 

these practical economic constraints. 

In our 1906 catalogue, 

many straight razors were offered 

with a „Pearl Scale Tang“. For 

this feature, two thin scales of 

natural materials, e.g. mother-ofpearl 

or camel bone, are affixed 

to the tapered tang. Using various 

sanding belts, the natural material 

is manually leveled to fit the tang 

until a seamless, elegant joint is 

formed. This process must be 

handled very delicately to protect 

the precious natural material from 

damage. The result is a tang that 

is pleasantly smooth and warm to 

the touch and has a sophisticated, 

nostalgic look. In our manufactory, 

we were able to recreate the difficult 

combination of thinly ground 

tang and perfectly fitted motherof-pearl 

scales. The special blade 

finish of the straight razors with 

pearl scale tang also sets these 

razors apart from the rest of our 

product range. Being an utterly 

fascinating material, steel has a 

natural silky shine that is fully 

brought out by gentle polishing. 

Comes with historic packaging 

and a certificate of authenticity. 

This straight razor with a 6/8” 

blade has handle scales of stabilized 

bog oak. Oak trunks are found 

in bogs, swamps, on riverbanks 

and lake shores, where they have 

been submerged for several centuries 

or even millennia. The tang 

with real mother-of-pearl scales 

creates an appealing contrast to 

the dark bog oak. The square point 

blade with a double line has an 

extra hollow grind with a ridge. 

The spine has fine laser engraving.

BARBER STORY: BARBER-J JEROME KANTNER 

Unlike many other Barber Shops 

located in urban centers and European 

metropolises, the barber and 

men‘s hairdresser for clients in 

the Rhine-Main area has its home 

in the idyllic Mainz neighborhood 

of Hechtsheim. Even during store 

hours with back-to-back barber 

appointments, there is always 

ample parking in front of and behind 

the building. 

Creating a pleasant and welcoming 

atmosphere is a matter of many 

loving details: countless historic 

shaving accessories, gentle light, 

cozy leather sofas and solid wood 


furnishings express the typical 

style of owner Jerome „Barber-J“ 

Kantner without being overdone. 

Even as a boy, Jerome showed his 

passion for hair and unconventional 

hairstyles with a colorful mohawk. 

It‘s not surprising that he began his 

career in 1985, training as a hairdresser. 

With several positions in 

the Rhine-Main area, he was able 

to work his way up to fulfilling his 

dream of his own salon, which he 

opened in 2007. 

Jerome is an expert in his craft. 

When you enter the barber shop, 

you‘ll see proof of that in many 

diplomas, awards and certificates. 

Jerome, nicknamed by friends 

Barber-J in his youth, won the 

German Championship and was 

able to qualify for the World Championship 

in Lisbon in the men‘s 

bracket. In 2014, he won the title 

of Global Champion. Thanks to his 

recognition as the world‘s best 

men‘s hairdresser, his status as 

American Crew All-Star and as a 

member of the Hair Stylists‘ Guild 

Rhinehessen, Jerome has made an 

international name for himself. He 

is often booked for trade shows, 

workshops and seminars around 

the world. In September, Jerome 

and Boker will share the stage at 

the Düsseldorf Barber Convention 

for a live presentation of a professional 

wet shave with the limited-edition 

forged straight razor Boker 

Barber-J.

has precisely milled indentations 

on the spine. Visually, they add 

a very special look to this limited-edition 

model and they offer 

Jerome a safe alternate grip for 

short strokes. As a lover of all 

natural materials, Barber-J simply 

had to choose curly birch for the

BOKER COUNT OF BERG 

Not far from the company headquarters 

of the Boker Manufactory 

in Solingen, we find the hallmark 

of the Bergisches Land region, the 

castle Burg an der Wupper. It is 

also one of the largest castles in 

western Germany, and the largest 

reconstructed castle in the state 

of North Rhine-Westphalia. The 

famous history of Castle Burg is 

inseparably linked to the Duchy 

Berg and the Count of Berg (Haus 

Berg, 1068-1225). 

On this occasion we decided to 

dedicate a series of straight razors 

to the three counts of Berg, which 

symbolizes parts of their lives. 

This tribute is reminiscent of the 

remarkable property and influence 

of the counts with impressive 

adornments made from 24-karat 

gold. Adolf II, Count of Berg, built 

the new castle (”Novus Mons,“ 

today known as Castle Burg) at 

the Wupper, erected on top of 

a preceding for tress from the 

10th century. The influence and 

wealth of Count Adolf II of Berg 

in the Rheinland-Westfalen region 

was tremendous. In those days, 

it was commonplace to split the 

inheritance among the six sons 

of Adolf. However, this represented 

a problem for the house 

of Berg, since this division would 

reduce the value and cost the 

Berg dynasty its influence. Since 

his eldest son (also Adolf) had 

already died in 1148 at Damascus 

during the Second Crusade, his 

sons Friedrich and Bruno entered 

into the clergy, and his youngest 

son Adolf was excluded from the 

inheritance due to his young age. 

In 1160, the Bergish realm was 

split between Adolf’s sons Everhard 

and Engelbert. 

EVERHARD, COUNT OF THE MARK 

Everhard, older than Engelbert, 

received the Westphalian 

possessions with the castles 

Altena and Hovel, and the abbeys 

Werden, Essen, and Cappenberg. 

This shows that for Adolf II, the 

Rhine-Franconia possessions 

were likely of lower value 

compared to the Westphalian. 

Everhard founded the Altenaer 

line - his descendants later called 

themselves Counts of the Mark. 

ADOLF III, COUNT OF BERG 

Engelbert I of Berg received 

the Rhine-Franconia inheritance 

and continued the name Berg 

in his family. The center of his 

domain was the castle Burg an 

der Wupper, which was built by 

his father (Adolf II). Engelbert 

I died in 1189 during the Third 

Crusade. His oldest son, Adolf III, 

succeeded him as Count of Berg. 

His reign fell on a period of warring 

conflicts, which led to his participation 

in the Crusades. Adolf went 

to the Holy Land during the Fifth 

Crusade in 1218, and died from an 

epidemic on August 7 of that year, 

as Commander of the Rhine and 

Friesian siege troops at Damiette 

in the Nile Delta. He had no son, 

therefore the Altena-Berg branch 

ceased. 

ENGELBERT II, COUNT OF BERG 

After the death of Adolf III, the 

House of Limburg, into which 

Adolf ‚s daughter Irmgard had 

married, staked its claim to the 

entire Bergish estate. While the 

daughter of Adolf III was entitled 

to an inheritance even in that 

time, Engelbert II, the brother of 

Adolf III, claimed the inheritance 

for himself. The resulting dispute 

was not settled in a legal process, 

but by violence over the course of 

two feuds. Engelbert rejected the 

Limburg claim through the force 

of arms and took over the rule 

of the County Berg as Engelbert 

II. Engelbert II, Count of Berg, 

later called ”The Holy,” was also 

known as Engelbert I, Archbishop 

of Cologne. With his murder in 

1225, the Bergish counts in this 

line came to an end, as the male 

line of the Bergish counts ended 

with the death of Engelbert II. 

As a result, Berg went to House 

Limburg, which was thus finally 

able to assert its inheritance claim.

CONSTRUCTION AND MANUFACTURING 

Despite all industrial progress 

since the foundation of the Boker 

Manufactory in 1869, some historic 

production methods are still used 

for making a Boker straight razor. 

We definitely preserved the passion, 

experience and perfection in choosing 

our materials and executing 

each of the production steps we 

would like to explain to you here. 

At the forge, the basic material is a 

round rod cut to length to create the 

so-called cropped piece. The splitter 

is heated until red hot, and drop 

forged with a 1,500 lb rammer. Next, 

the slugs have to cool to 392° F for 

two days in an annealing furnace. 

We exclusively grind our straight 

razor blades extra hollow with belly. 

The belly lies in front of the strong 

hollow section and just behind the 

edge, which has a small hollow 

grind itself. The belly is the only way 

in which the blades can be ground 

out so thin and still retain sufficient 

stiffness, despite their flexibility. 

There are only a handful of the 

best and most specialized grinders 

in the world that have mastered 

this ultimate skill in straight razor 

production. 

The scales department manually 

assembles nickel silver pins, 

washers, and spacers to the blades. 

Wood and stag require special 

dexterity, as these natural materials 

can tear when too much pressure is 

applied. 

The slugs are once again straightened 

in a 200-ton press, before 

going to the hardening shop. By 

thermic treatment the perfect combination 

of edge-holding property and 

flexibility of the steel is created. 

Finally, the blade is honed by hand 

on several bench whetstones with 

increasingly finer grits. After the 

final stropping, the sharpness of the 

straight razor is tested on a freely 

suspended human hair. 

In the grinding shop, the extra 

hollow grind with belly is created. 

The slugs are ground in 18 individual 

steps, from rough grinding, to 

milling, to glazing.

BOKER ABALONE 

The Boker Abalone combines 

extraordinary design and outstanding 

performance. The die-forged 

blade of this exceptional straight 

razor consists of carbon steel 

O1 (1.2510) hardened to 59-61 

HRC. Thanks to its superior 

characteristics and excellent edge 

retention, this carbon steel is 

the perfect material for premium 

straight razors. 

Apart from classic materials that 

have been defining the popular 

Boker Straight Razor for decades, 

we are always looking for modern 

and innovative natural material 

combinations offering a special 

look or feel that our customers 

will love. White gold, sea snails 

or sea ears are just some other 

names of the abalone. 

These mollusks live off the coasts 

of Australia, New Zealand, Japan, 

China, Mexico and South Africa, 

attaching themselves to rocks just 

a few meters below the surface. 

As a great delicacy, they are desirable 

enough to have caused entire 

gang wars in the past. Today, 

the precious natural product is 

raised in water farms. The beautiful 

shells with their almost artificial 

looking shimmer have always 

been used as decoration, implements 

or material for jewelry, 

intarsia or mother-of-pearl clips. 

Employing cutting-edge production 

methods, a wafer-thin layer 

of colorful abalone is applied to 

a carrier and encased in transparent 

acrylic. The resulting durable 

material is perfect for making 

straight razor handles, enriching 

the piece with unusual colors and 

a three-dimensional look.

BOKER SCHWARZGOLD – THE LEGEND 

SCHWARZGOLD – THE LEGEND 

We wanted to pay homage to 

the extraordinary racing mare, 

”Schwarzgold,” 1937 – 1950 with 

this elegant new straight razor. 

The Schwarzgold (Black Gold) 

features black Ruthenium coating 

on a base of a complete gilding. 

Schwarzgold was born in 1937 

at the stud farm Schlenderhahn 

as the daughter of the stallion 

”Alchimist” and the broodmare 

”Schwarzliesel.” Schwarzgold 

was an exceptional horse in every 

respect. Contemporary sports 

lovers called the English thoroughbred 

a ”galloping machine,” 

”miracle mare,” and ”super 

horse.” In 1940, she won the 

Diana prize with 6 lengths, and 

the German Derby in the same 

year with a legendary 10 lengths. 

The classic Kissaszony race was 

named after her the following 

year. 

Despite this superior and unknown 

predominance, it is believed that 

Schwarzgold was never pushed to 

the limit, meaning that she actually 

always galloped short of her 

true potential. The reason for this 

(and another fascinating fact that 

gave rise to the legend) was the 

difficult character of the mare. Her 

trainer George Arnull prohibited 

any use of the otherwise common 

bridle during training and during 

races. Everything Schwarzgold 

did, she did of her own will. Add 

to that the fact that Schwarzgold 

could only be used on sand since 

it was impossible to control her 

on grass. 

The specter of the NS regime 

hovered over every victory of 

Schwarzgold. Waldemar von 

Oppenheim, the owner of the stud 

farm Schlenderhahn and thus the 

owner of Schwarzgold, was expropriated 

shortly after the victories. 

This put an end to any international 

career Schwarzgold might 

have had. 

As a broodmare, Schwarzgold 

gave birth to two foals. One of 

the two foals, ”Schwarzblaurot,” 

continued the Schwarzgold line, 

which still breeds winners to this 

day.

1 BOKER SCHWARZGOLD 

We had to brainstorm hard to be 

able to convey the elegance and 

superiority of the mare to the 

razor dedicated to her without 

compromising. We finally came to 

the solution of coating the blade, 

ground extra hollow with belly, 

completely in gold as a first step. 

The Ruthenium coating applied in 

the negative process only holds 

optimally on this basis and retains 

its incomparable anthracite color 

and silky sheen. Ruthenium is a 

chemical element with the label 

Ru and atomic number 44. It is 

an extremely hard platinum metal 

which is only rarely used. Thus 

it is congruent with the exceptional 

character of this eponymous 

straight razor. The handle material 

is just as refined. The select black 

ebony picks up the beautiful color 

combination of the blade, and 

lives up to the outstanding quality 

of the entire piece. Includes certificate

BARBER STORY: MISTER KUTTER 

Emmanuel Renaud is the man 

behind the well-known „Mister 

Kutter“ barber shops. The 

Frenchman from the Loire valley 

began his career as a professional 

men‘s hairstylist in 1991. Today, 

he owns four barber shops with 16 

employees and is about to open the 

„Kutter School Academy“. 

Hello Emmanuel. Mister Kutter has 

become one of the heavyweights of 

the French barber scene. Where did 

you get the idea to open a barber 

shop? 

For many years, I managed mixed 

salons and was mainly responsible 

for the male customers. In time, 

my customers became more and 

more demanding and it was clear 

that there was a demand for a 

salon just for men. My idea was 

to find a unique style that is exclusively 

dedicated to men. In 2014, 

I opened my first barber shop in 

Blois. 

What can your customers expect when 

they enter a Mister Kutter barber shop? 

Our customers expect and experience 

a moment of calm relaxation, 

care and advice. The human side of 

our business is essential. We do 

not provide a fast service. We take 

our time to do it right. I furnished 

our shops in a specific style I‘d 

call „neo retro“. It‘s a clever mix of 

tradition and innovation. 

In some barber shops, women are 

not allowed. Can they come into your 

shop? 

They are tolerated but can‘t say 

anything. Seriously though, this is 

a men‘s thing where women really 

don‘t have a place. If they have a 

sense of humor, talent and a great 

character, they are a welcome 

audience. 

Do you shave your customers with 

forged straight razors or just with 

safety razors? 

We usually work with both, depending 

on what we need. 

You have always been a fan of our 

straight razors. Why is that? 

I like the excellent craftsmanship, 

the quality of the materials, the 

handling and perfect aesthetics! 

Do your various enterprises leave you 

time for other things? In your spare 

time, what is important to you and 

what do you like? 

Professionally speaking, I‘ve developed 

a line of high-end cosmetics 

for men, focusing on beards. In my 

spare time, I love riding my motorbike, 

especially with friends. And 

music! 

Thank you for the interview. It was a 

pleasure working with you!

blade straight razor is not only 

very popular among wet shaving 

fans, travelers, and professional 

barbers and hair dressers, but 

can also be found in bathrooms at 

home as a low maintenance and 

comfortable, versatile companion. 

Especially barbers like to use the 

uncomplicated replaceable blades 

in hectic business operations due 

to hygiene regulations, rather 

than disinfecting straight razors 

the traditional way. The Boker 

interchangeable blade straight 

razor has the same geometry and 

size of our forged straight razors. 

Thanks to the grooved synthetic 

surface, it provides a safe grip 

for fingers at all times. The blade 

receptacle is made from stainless 

steel and moisture resistant 

synthetic and is designed to allow 

the use of both the ubiquitous 

43mm standard blades for classic 

safety razors (double edge) and 

the 65 mm long standard blades. 

Before inserting, double edge 

razor blades are carefully broken 

in the middle. The handles follow 

that of forged straight razors 

made by the Boker manufactory, 

and leave nothing to be desired. 

Delivered in a historical packaging 

including one double edged razor 

blade.

BOKER Pro Barberette 

Along with the established Boker 

Barberettes with a plastic blade 

receptacle that we already offer, 

many barbers have been asking for 

a straight razor knife with a stainless 

steel receptacle. The receptacle 

of the Boker Pro Barberettes 

is designed to accommodate a 

half Double Edge (43 mm standard 

blade) and hold it securely between 

the two stainless steel parts. This 

system has been used by professional 

barbers and hairdressers for 

many years before we optimized it: 

• The geometry and size of the 

Boker Pro Barberette follows that of 

the premium-quality forged straight 

razors made by the Boker Manufactory 

Solingen. 

• The bottom of the tang has a fine 

serration, offering a secure grip 

even when wet. 

• In order to improve opening the 

two blade halves, the round point 

is tapered inward on both sides. 

When the clamp is removed, the 

two halves can be easily pushed 

against each other by means of the 

round point. 

• Precise riveting and superior 

craftsmanship ensure precise 

function and a long life even with 

heavy use. 

The Boker Pro Barberette combines 

professional functionality, a familiar 

grip and balance and the authentic 

aesthetics of a classic straight razor. 

If you are just starting out, it is an 

alternative to a forged straight razor 

at a lower price point. Before inserting, 

the double blades need to be 

carefully broken in half. Comes with 

historic packaging and a doubleedged 

blade.

this reason, one-week sets were

OF STRAIGHT RAZORS 

1 BOKER CAMELLIA OIL 

1 BOKER CAMELLIA OIL 

This high quality, pure camellia oil 

is made according to a traditional 

Chinese recipe, and has many 

uses. The thin oil is extracted 

from the seed of the camellia 

tree, is taste neutral, odorless, 

and does not dry. The camellia oil 

is food safe and impresses with its 

special purity. 

Corrosion protection 

The acid-free, non-resinous, 

and non-evaporating camellia oil 

is traditionally used to protect 

from corrosion in the care of high 

quality knife blades made from 

carbon steel, as well as tools and 

weapons. It is purely organic and 

perfect for preserving non-stainless 

kitchen knives and straight 

razors as – in contrast to other 

care oils – does not form an emulsion 

with water. 

Wood protection 

The low-viscosity oil quickly 

absorbs into the wood and 

protects from moisture, dirt, and 

UV radiation. Camellia oil is clear, 

does not discolor the wood, and 

brings out the grain beautifully. 

Outstanding for the care of high 

quality straight razor handles and 

kitchen knife handles made from 

fine woods.

CARE & STROPPING 

OF STRAIGHT RAZORS 

Caring for a straight razor mainly 

entails preserving the razor‘s edge 

and protecting it from corrosion. 

The sharpness of the razor mainly 

comes from regular „stropping“ 

on linen and untreated leather 

and, after a while, on leather 

treated with a grinding paste. This 

requires a bit of practice but can 

be learned quickly. While with 

a pocket or kitchen knife, the 

difficulty lies in maintaining the 

correct angle, the geometry of the 

straight razor helps us a lot in this 

respect. The precisely balanced 

ratio of the very thick back of the 

blade to the whisper-thin edge 

ensures that you automatically 

get the right angle on the edge 

when the blade spine touches the 

leather strop (see fig. 1). 

SPINE 

LEATHER 

fig. 1 

BLADE 

First, touch the spine to the leather 

and then carefully move the edge 

to touch the strop. Now pull the 

straight razor with slight pressure 

in the direction of the spine (away 

from the edge) across the entire 

length of the strop. While doing 

so, move the razor slightly diagonally 

across the leather. This way 

you can cover the entire length 

of the edge with the leather. The 

spine and the edge must be in 

constant contact with the strop 

(see fig. 2). 

It is very important to flip the razor 

over its spine when you reach 

the end of the strop. UNDER NO 

CIRCUMSTANCE should you flip 

the straight razor over the edge 

– this would round off the edge 

again, i.e. blunt it (see fig. 3). 

fig. 3 

The untreated leather does not 

remove material from the edge, 

i.e., it does not sharpen the razor 

in the usual sense. You can image 

the burr of the edge microscopically 

like a comb whose teeth are 

bent in all directions after shaving. 

The strop realigns these teeth 

into an even burr. If available, 

one should use the linen side in 

exactly the same manner as the 

leather strop before stropping. 

The fiber of the linen is soft, the 

mesh of the textile, however, is 

rough. This allows the linen to grip 

the burr and align it. The weave 

of the textile catches dirt and 

loose steel particles which could 

damage the sensitive edge when 

pressed against the strop. The 

final use of the strop makes the 

resulting edge finer. 

You should strop the razor 

BEFORE, and not AFTER shaving. 

Steel has a certain level of self-healing 

power, or “memory.” After 

stress, the burr slowly and partially 

stands itself up again. If you 

violently rip the burr up with the 

strop immediately after shaving, 

this stresses the material, which 

shortens the life expectancy of 

the burr and, in the long run, of 

the razor. 

The razor should rest for at least 

24 hours after the shave – but 48 

hours or more is ideal, so if you 

shave every day, you should own 

at least two straight razors. Our 

grandfathers therefore often had 

sets for the entire week, containing 

7 razors. 

If the cutting performance of the 

razor decreases over time despite 

regular stropping, the razor should 

be stropped on a second strop 

treated with special red grinding 

paste. This process actually does 

remove a minimal amount of steel 

from the blade. It is not that easy 

to answer the obvious question 

after how many shaves this should 

be done, as every beard is different. 

Many men only shave partially 

and contour their beards – the 

stress on the blade is different 

in each case. The user should 

strop with paste when the razor 

begins to pinch when shaving. 

After stropping with paste, you 

should clean the blade thoroughly, 

and strop it once more on untreated 

leather. 

In order to protect it from corrosion, 

dry the blade carefully and 

thoroughly after shaving, and then 

oil it with an acid-free, viscous 

oil. Camellia oil has proven to be 

excellent for this purpose (see 

page 44).

hard-wearing wood indigenous to 

Germany. It is sealed with oil to

3 BOKER CLASSIC HORN 

This version, made with stunning 

horn in brown amber, features 

genuine badger hair. In this basic 

quality among the natural hair 

types, the individual hairs are a bit 

stronger, yet still soft and clearly 

more flexible than bristles. If you 

prefer a badger hair brush and want 

to achieve a somewhat stronger 

massaging effect, this is the model 

for you. Dimensions: 1¼“ x 4“. 

Weight: 1.8 oz. Ring size M: ¾“.

The popular resin is available in 

Horn Brown as part of the Modern 

Line, combined with a synthetic 

premium quality. It resembles the 

natural material very closely. The

6 BOKER MODERN BOG OAK 

This version, made from bog oak,

many centuries ago and has gone 

through a number of metamorphoses. 

Dimensions: 1½“ x 4½“.

7 BOKER PREMIUM BLACK 

Connoisseurs regard the silvertipped 

badger brush as the 

highwater mark - only the best, 

carefully selected badger bristles 

are used for these fully hand made 

shaving brushes. The precious 

natural materials are particularly 

soft and flexible. The conically 

tapered shaft of the individual 

bristle permits particularly large 

amounts of shaving cream to be 

absorbed and fed to the tips. Yet 

another hallmark of quality is the 

so-called „mirror“ - a black belt 

that runs through the predominantly 

silver sheen of the bristle. 

The handle is made from handsome 

Grenadill wood. Its impressive 

density and hardness make 

this material a natural choice for 

a wet shaving accessory. Dimensions: 

1⅝“ x 4⅛“. Weight: 4.1 oz. 

Ring size L: ⅞“.

For generations, high quality 

scissors are made in the small 

Italian town of Premana. The 

local manufacturers, with their 

modern production processes and 

carefully selected materials in 

combination with their attention 

to detail, satisfy the demanding 

customer with their high quality 

European manufacturing methods. 

A good example of that is the 

Ringlock Scissors series. The 

well known connecting screw is 

replaced by an advanced locking 

system, developed and patented 

by Premax. The Ringlock System 

is made with the help of special 

tooling out of the watchmaker‘s 

industry and works with a ring 

and a bearing made of aluminum, 

which guarantees a permanent 

tight fit of the two halves. 

The Ringlock System guarantees 

maximum precision and prolonged 

durability of the cutting edges and 

thus of the complete scissor. All

BOKER ARBOLITO MANICURE SETS 

Until recently, the wide world 

of nail care was new territory 

for many men who didn‘t take it 

seriously at all. However, since 

women have come to appreciate 

not just biceps and six-pack abs 

but also carefully groomed nails, 

it is no wonder that modern men 

are coming around to making 

grooming a priority. More and 

more barber shops are offering 

nail care, because well-groomed 

nails speak of a healthy self-confidence. 

Just like a classic wet 

shave, a proper manicure depends 

on high-quality tools. 

The exclusive Manicure Sets by 

Boker Arbolito meet the quality 

standard, offering the right tools 

for shortening and shaping fingernails, 

for removing excess cuticles, 

cleaning under the nail 

and polishing. The kit is made 

from fine cowhide, keeping the 

premium tools safe and protected 

even for frequent travelers. All 

manicure tools are made from 

stainless steel with an elegant 

matt surface finish.
